The Work Of Creation And The Gospelappendix: The Creation Of Heaven And Angelsendorsements'If You Want To Get To The Heart Of The Message Of This Book, You Could Say: In The Beginning There Is Truth. In This Indepth Investigation, Prof. Dr. C. Van Dam Shows Us That Holy Scripture Opens With The Revelation Of Facts. The First Pages Of Holy Scripture Are In No Way An Oriental Campfire Fantasy Or A Human Tale. In Fact, The Author Convincingly Argues That In Genesis 1 And 2 We Have Received The Reliable Account Of How God Brought The Universe Into Being Within A Period Of Six Days (Qualified By Evening And Morning). It Is No Exaggeration That Such An Exposition About The Origin Of The World And About The Historical Adam And Eve Has Probably Never Been As Necessary As It Is Today. This Book Definitely Meets A Big Need!' Jrgenburkhard Klautke, Dean Of The Academy Of Reformed Theology [Art] Giessen, Germany'The First Chapters Of The Book Of Genesis Form The Foundation Of God'S Message For Mankind. The Last Few Years Have Witnessed More And More New Interpretations Of These Chapters With Huge Consequences For The Church And Its Theology. Dr. Cornelis Van Dam Has Served The Discussion Well By Thoroughly Investigating These Different Visions And Showing How They Are In Part Based On Current Scientific Notions Of The Origin Of The Cosmos And The Human Race. However, Those Who Want To Honor The Selftestimony Of Genesis Have Many Good Reasons To Remain With The Classic Christian Understanding.' Martjan Paul, Professor Of Old Testament At The Evangelical Theological Faculty In Leuven (Belgium)
