Product Description
Everyone’s heard of it. Many believe it. Is there a "gap in time" between the first two verses in Genesis? Does this alleged gap really represent a vast amount of time?
Weston Fields’ classic treatment of this subject is now being published by Master Books, and promoted by such important organizations as Answers in Genesis.
In this book, Fields makes a detailed study of the gap theory, paying particular attention to the Hebrew of Genesis. His conclusion — that this theory is not a reasonable compromise with modern evolutionary theory, but a dangerous diversion from biblical truth — helps readers who struggle with the question of the time taken during the creation week. Was it really six days? Can Christians find a workable solution to the debate about creation and time? An important book.
• A presentation of a variety of views espoused by Christians of all denominations
• A professional, scholarly look that can be easily understood by laymen
• A fascinating study of the original Hebrew text
About The Author
A Hebrew scholar and ardent creationist, Fields recognized long ago that the Gap Theory was in fact bringing harm to the church. Fields divides his time between Alaska and Israel, where he does research work related to the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Reader ReviewsThis is a very good book for pastors,ministers,or priests. It shows how the Hebrew and Greek can be translated to give the true meaning of what the men of God were inspired to write. As for me it was a little over my head. I got the point he was making in the first two chapters. In my writing education, I was taught to use different words with the same meaning so as not to bore or confuse the reader. Thus it does not surprise me that God would do the same thing, after all He created us.
