Creation in Six Days offers an exegetical, literary, and theological defense of the traditional interpretation of the Genesis account of six-day creation. Jordan's account is primarily designed to answer any approach to the text of Genesis, such as the increasingly popular Framework Hypothesis, that pits the text's literary features against its historical and narrative sense.

Beyond his exegetical critique of several prominent positions, Jordan offers a constructive reading of the early parts of Genesis and also seeks to uncover the assumptions which attract people to the Framework Interpretation and similar views. The explanation, he says, lies in the acceptance of many of the questionable assumptions of modern science on the part of most Christians today, coupled with the pervasiveness of a gnostic or nonhistorical attitude toward the Christian faith.

Creation and Fall originated in lectures given by Dietrich Bonhoeffer at the University of Berlin in the winter semester of 1932-33 during the demise of the Weimar Republic and the birth of the Third Reich. In the course of these events, Bonhoeffer called his students to focus their attention on the word of God the word of truth in a time of turmoil.

This eBook title is also a section found in the more comprehensive resource titled: "The 'Genesis Gap' – A Comprehensive Biblical Study".

Many reputable Bible scholars have recognized a chaotic event described in many passages of the scriptures that describe an earth that predates the creation of Adam, that was in a state of ruin following a judgment event from God.

This event includes the description in scriptual passages of a worldwide flood that predates the flood that later occurred in the days of Noah and that likely included an ice age.

This teaching, also referred to as "The Ruin Reconstruction Theory" reveals from these scriptures, that the earth was re-created for the dominion of Adam/mankind after this catastrophic event. The scriptures also point to "the fall of Lucifer" who became Satan and the angels that followed him, as being the probable cause of the PreAdamic chaotic earth.

While this doctrine has had disagreements aimed at it, with the accusation that the teaching was devised following the proposing of "The Theory of Evolution", many ancient documents reveal that this doctrine was recognized in the scriptures as much as 2,000 years ago.

While those who oppose the doctrine despite its scriptural backing also include reputable Bible scholars, those who adhere to it as a true Biblical doctrine come from many theological backgrounds and credentials as well, including Hebrew scholars.

The doctrine Biblically accounts for a very ancient earth and lends toward understanding the proposed ice age and extinction of dinosaurs and other prehistoric life.

The teaching does not change the interpretation of other major core Bible doctrines despite this sometimes being the claim by those who oppose it. It in-fact compliments other Bible doctrines and brings better explanation to many areas of them.

The doctrine does not change recognition for the fact that "Adam's sin" is what brought the sin-nature and spiritual death upon mankind. It does however recognize Satan as the instigator of man's temptation as an angel who had already fallen during a pre-adamic time period.

It requires more than a scant understanding of the teaching for a reader to decide if the doctrine is truly Biblically based or not. I have endeavored to give the subject some detailed attention based on Bible scripture, in this eBook, which is a companion to my other title: "The Genesis Gap - Ignored and Misunderstood".

I, Jim Lowrance - the author, am a former Christian Youth Minister of 20 years and a graduate of theological studies - Liberty University 1996.

We live in a Universe that differs profoundly from the small and simpler world in which our religious ancestors lived. Then the Earth was flat and at the center of the world, and the Sun, Moon, and stars were lights in the sky. The world and the Supreme Being who created it were centered on us. Modern science has revealed a very different world. Our Universe was born 13.7 billion years ago in the Big Bang, is evolving, and contains 10 billion trillion stars many of which are likely to have planets. The Earth is no longer at the center of the world and the Sun is but one of trillions of stars in the Universe. What are the theological implications of these revelations? What is the purpose of the Universe? What are the implications concerning the nature of God and the relationship between humanity and God? What is the creation story in Genesis trying to tell us? If God is the Creator, then the Creator’s handiwork is inscribed by God in the natural record, “The Book of God’s Works.” What theological insights can we discover from reading this divinely written text? These are questions that the present book addresses in hopes that it will encourage the reader to find his or her own answers.
The author is a research scientist who worked for many years as an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and later served as a science program director at NASA Headquarters. He was awarded the NASA Distinguished Service Medal and the NASA Medal for Outstanding Leadership.

In this book Professor Douglas Kelly persuasively argues for a literal interpretation of the seven day account of creation found in Genesis chapters 1 and 2. He assesses both the biblical details and the scientific data to show that there is a convincing case for this understanding and how it is scientifically viable.

Amidst the creation/evolution debate that is now raging, with evidence being offered for both sides, few have made use of what Fr. Seraphim Rose called the missing evidence : the timeless teaching of the Orthodox Holy Fathers on the events of creation, the first-created world, the natures of created things, the original nature of man, and the cosmic consequences of man's fall.

In the present volume, this teaching has been gathered and set forth in a thorough, detailed, and above all honest manner. Perhaps more than anyone else in our times, Fr. Seraphim Rose searched, studied, prayed, and struggled to understand how the Holy Fathers noetically apprehended the beginning of the world as revealed in the Divinely inspired book of Genesis. Having acquired their mind, he has presented to the modern world the harmonious Patristic vision of the cosmos.

A much-needed answer to today's crisis of meaning, this book sheds unique light on the origin and primordial condition of man and the cosmos, showing how these mysteries are inextricably tied to those of our redemption by Jesus Christ and of creation's redeemed state beyond the general resurrection. The Divine vision of the Fathers opens up deeper levels of awareness concerning God s creation and His ultimate intention for it levels that cannot be reached through merely rational or scientific means.

Genesis, Creation, and Early Man has been compiled posthumously from a rich array of materials left behind by Fr. Seraphim. The second edition contains much new material to supplement Fr. Seraphim's work, including an updated preface outlining new developments in the creation/evolution debate, such as the rise of the intelligent design movement in the West and the defense of the Orthodox Patristic teaching on creation by theological writers and scientists in Russia; new explanatory notes on many topics pertaining to Genesis and creation, with further quotations from the Holy Fathers and extensive references to Patristic works; an article detailing the Scriptural-Patristic teaching on the incorruption of man and the cosmos before the fall, and showing its relevance to other aspects of Orthodox theology; and critiques of the modern philosophy of evolution by saints and holy elders, as well as by Orthodox scientists working in the fields of biology and geology.

My initial intention was not to write a book, nor to attack anyone’s fundamental beliefs. I am simply deeply devoted to researching and discovering truth. Three years after accumulating so much information from ancient Rabbis, current Rabbis, scientists, early church fathers, Hebrew definitions, culture and traditions, I found that I needed to store this information, as well as my ideas, into solid form so that I could always go back to it. The book was then born and progressed through a year of further developments and changes.

I entitled this the Ancient Genesis because it was in researching ancient Rabbis' commentaries, early church fathers and their understandings of the text as well as researching the ancient Hebrew language, that brought light for me to many issues of today. This understanding of the text, then, is something new for most people, but really it is an old understanding coupled with modern science to help reveal the secrets and plainest truths of the scripture.

Upon reading this, your beliefs will most likely be challenged. Upon being challenged; however, there is a plethora of information that I hope will encourage you in your own searches for truth, whether or not you agree with my conclusions.
