Looking
for something to equip your high school student to properly
understand the book of Genesis? Here are 4 outstanding
books written by scientists who all share the "straight-forward
reading" approach to interpreting the Bible.
The Genesis Flood is now a classic in the area of flood
geology. Its insights into the universal flood record of
Genesis are indispensable. John Morris's book
The Young Earth offers valuable notes and insights on
hotly-debated issues such as radiometric dating.
The Great Turning Point by Terry Mortenson is a must-read
if you want to thoroughly understand how scientific thinking
changed, the forces that changed it and how the church
capitulated, not on scientific ground, but on philosophical
grounds. This has to be my favorite book related to the history
of science. Michael Oard's book, Frozen in
Time is written from a meteorological perspective. Mr. Oard,
now retired, worked for the National Weather Service for many
years. His insights into a one "ice age" caused by the
Genesis Flood are outstanding. It put together so many
pieces of the "ice age" puzzle for me. In
addition there is a laminated chart showing the actual ages and
genealogical record of all the Patriarchs from Adam through
Joseph. This handy chart allows the student to quickly
compare the Scriptural record with opposing views. |
