THE GENESIS RECORD: A Scientific & Devoti...by Henry M. Morris (1981, Hardcover) The Genesis Record is the only commentary on the complete Book of
Genesis written by a creation scientist. Written as narrative exposition
ratehr than a critical verse-by-verse analysis (although discussions on
all important historical and scientific problems are woven into the
narrative), this commentary is equally useful to both the theologically
trained and the layperson. Dr. Morris writes from the conviction
that the first eleven chapters of Genesis are as truly historical as the
remaining thirty-nine. This conviction is based not simply on faith but
on many years of study of the scientific aspects of the Genesis record,
as well as the interchange of ideas with many other scientists and
theologians (both creationist and evolutionists). Dr. Morris's
logic is compelling in its affirmation of a young earth and universe; he
advocates a tight chronology in his exposition. His commentary on the
worldwide Noahic Flood reflects his expertise in hydrology and geology. In The Genesis Record ,
the reader is conducted by a capable guide through the important
corridors of earth's early history, providing the background so
necessary in understanding all of Scripture. Dr. Morris does not
neglect application of the Genesis account to the Christian life. More
than thirty years of teaching Bible classes are reflected in the
author's insights into human character and his application of biblical
truths to life in the twenty-first century. This hardback book with dust cover is in acceptable condition. The dust cover has tears and therefore not very pretty but is still on the book and doing its job of protecting. The book itself is sturdy. There were markings observed on roughly 30 pages of the book (see photo). There is also some soiling on the outer pages (see photo). Still this copy remains a good reading and studying copy.
