"This book is about the decline of the Church's view of Genesis 1-11, which has led to a catastrophic decline in believing in the absolute authority of the Word of God in the Church." p 120
The first half was quite good. Ham explains why incorrect interpretations of Genesis lead to a compromise of all Scripture, including the gospel and argues the Bible is to be the "starting point" for all our beliefs.
If God is good, Genesis has to be literal. I appreciated the distinction made between observational and historical science. Science and Christianity are not at odds!
I was surprised to see that some theologians whom I otherwise respect, such as Tim Keller, hold to compromised views of Genesis.
Unfortunately, the book is quite repetitive, especially in the second half. A good thirty percent could have been eliminated with better editing.
I think his arguments are worth reading, but try to have patience with his repetitious writing! ( )
