Creation in Six Days: A Defense of the Traditional Reading of Genesis One

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 shows that people are attracted to the Framework Interpretation and similar views, not because of reasonable exegesis, but because of a faith in modern science.
