The Six Days of Creation - Or the Scriptural Cosmology, With the Ancient Idea of Time-Worlds, in Distinction From Worlds in Space #255388

It is several years since the writer sat down to study this question solely from the light of the Divine Word, determined that no geological considerations, on the one hand, and no irrational independence of science, on the other, should deflect his enquiries from their true exege tical course. In a very early stage of the investigation he became persuaded that we are in danger of putting modern notions on very ancient language, and that the idea of vast indefinite periods was most in accordance with the Spirit of the Hebrew Scriptures. The result has been most satisfactory to his own mind, and he wishes, therefore, to present it to the reader with the hope that it may be productive of the same conviction.
