Recruiting the Ancients for the Creation Debate

---

Outline : How literally are we meant to take the creation week of Genesis 1? In this polarizing debate, contemporary interprets invoke great theologians from history to support their own side, whether that be a young earth, theistic evolution, or any other view. The problem lies in trying to force ancient authors into contemporary boxes, as Andrew H. Brown shows in this thought-provoking volume. Covering Philo, Basil, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Wesley, and more, Brown carefully outlines great thinkers' readings of Genesis 1 in their intellectual contexts. He then assesses how these authors have been subject to cherry-picking and misappropriation in the trenches of the modern creation debate. By studying the intellectual history of the church in this way - to revisit rather than recruit the ancients - we can enrich our own biblical interpretation. Irenic and magisterial, Brown's guide will interest both scholars of historical theology and anyone invested in the creation debate.
