The Early Earth: An Introduction to Biblical Creationism

The Early Earth, first published in 1972, has established itself as one of the most illuminating books defending biblical creationism. It now appears in a revised and expanded edition.

In this forceful sequel to The Genesis Flood and companion to The World That Perished by the same author, the case for biblical creationism is presented comprehensively, yet explained so clearly that the layperson, and even young people, can easily understand it. No verified and substantiated findings of science are rejected, but the author does discard every theory that contradicts the teaching of Scripture.
