My calculator says that $2.99 is an 83% markdown from the $18.99 list prices.

This book takes an "Old Earth" position. The author believes that the "days" of Genesis 1 are not 24-hour days, but are ages of time (the position is called the "Day-Age" theory). Although this position has been advocated and defended by quite a few people, I'm anxious to see what this author has to say.

My posting of this book does not mean that I necessarily agree with any exegetical, theological, or doctrinal positions taken therein.

A Biblical Case for an Old Earth. By David Snoke. Rated 4 stars, from 29 reviews at the present moment. Print list price $18.00; digital list price $18.00; Kindle price now $2.99. Baker Books, publisher. 225 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Biblical-Case-...r+an+Old+Earth.

Book Description
Young-earth creationism? Naturalistic evolution? Isn't there another choice?

Yes, there is.

Respected physicist and professor Dr. David Snoke argues that the Bible does tell us about the scientific history of our world, but it does not teach that the world was created recently. He offers a compelling biblical case that the young-earth position is theologically flawed.

Drawing out the deeper themes of Scripture often lost in modern discussion, Snoke shows how the biblical texts as well as modern scientific discoveries are better explained by a day-age model. He argues that the earth is millions of years old-and created miraculously by God.

Anyone interested in how science and faith relate and what the Bible says about the age of the earth will appreciate this readable, biblically grounded explanation of old-earth creationism.
