摘要：The case for six-day creation, a global flood, and a young earth based on a literal interpretation of Genesis 1-11 is greatly under attack. Terry Mortenson and Thane H Ury assembled 14 theological scholars to defend the historic position, whilst critiquing the contemporary old-earth interpretations of Genesis in their book, Coming to Grips with Genesis: Biblical Authority and the Age of the Earth.1 The primary focus of the book is to delineate the "key historical, exegetical, and theological arguments demonstrating that the Bible teaches a recent and literal six-day creation and global catastrophic Flood." The book is also a festschrift to the life and ministry of early earth advocate and pioneer, Dr John C Whitcomb. In addition, the book contains a short biography of Whitcomb, as well as a bibliography of his writings along with a personal tribute describing his impact on each contributor opening almost every chapter.
