内容简介：
地球的年龄是当今教会在起源问题上争论的焦点，本书包含了14位神学家在相关的关键课题上的论述。他们带着严谨的经文、神学和历史论据，支持六日创造、全球性洪水和年轻地球。学者们还针对当代人对创世记的一些古老地球解释提出了及时的批评。
本书对创世记第 1-11 章的字面历史性提出了新的辩护，这与侧重于年轻地球的科学证据的其他研究相得益彰。因此，本书可以作为其他作品的补充，也可以为神学院和圣经学院的师生、牧师、传教士和其他需要深入研究护教学的人士提供独立的教材。
本书的撰写是为了纪念魏德孔博士，他在1961年与莫里斯博士合作出版了不朽的创造论名著《创世记洪水》。
《掌握创世记：圣经的权威和地球的年龄》包含：
• 马斯特神学院院长兼加州太阳谷恩典社区教会主任牧师约翰·麦克阿瑟和创造研究院创始人莫里斯分别写作的两个序言
• 对创世记第1章里的动词的细致分析
• 捍卫创世记第5章和第11章中家谱的严格时间表
• 为什么要否认在亚当犯罪之前有亿万年的死亡和自然恶
• 对耶稣关于年轻地球的教导的仔细思考
Brief introduction:
The age of the earth is the focus of the debate on the origins of the church today, and this book contains 14 theologians on related key issues. They support the Six Days of Creation, Global Flood, and Young Earth with rigorous scriptural, theological, and historical arguments. Scholars also offer timely critiques of some of the ancient Earth interpretations of Genesis by contemporary generations.
This book's new defense of the literal historicity of Genesis 1-11 fits well with other research that has focused on scientific evidence for a young Earth. Therefore, this book can be used as a supplement to other works, and can also provide independent teaching materials for teachers and students of seminaries and Bible colleges, pastors, missionaries, and others who need to study apologetics in depth.
This book is written in memory of Dr. Weidekorn, who in 1961 co-published the immortal creation masterpiece "The Genesis Flood" with Dr. Morris.
Mastering Genesis: Biblical Authority and the Age of the Earth contains:
• Two prefaces written by John MacArthur, Dean of Master Theological Seminary and Senior Pastor of Grace Community Church in California, and Morris, founder of the Creation Institute
• A detailed analysis of the verbs in Genesis 1
• Defend the strict timeline of the genealogy in Genesis 5 and 11
• Why deny that there were billions of years of death and natural evil before Adam sinned?
• A careful consideration of Jesus' teaching about a young earth
