Summary Of Lennox's Interpretation Of Creation

The author proved his point, in the introduction he states his thesis. On page 12 of the introduction, Lennox states his thesis. He states that this book is written for people who put off the Christian faith to scientific reasoning. Also in his thesis, he states that this book is for Christians who disagree with any interpretation of creation.

Chapter 3 gives the best description of the first part of his thesis. Chapter 3 helps explains why people put off Christianity and turn to science. In chapter 3, Lennox understands the controversy that this topic has. He explains creations with three different views. One of the viewpoints that put Creation and science together is the framework view. The framework view explained by Lennon on pages 44-49. The framework view shows logic instead of chronological order of Creation. On page 46 Lenox explains how Day 1 the Creation of light and Day 4 the creation of the sun, moon, and stars are parallel. The framework view is that God created light in the universe. Then the sun, moon, and stars created illuminating light.
Understanding the Creation story for Christians is important. On page 21 of chapter 2, Lennox writes, “The first obvious, yet important thing to say about the Bible is that it is literature”. He states that the Bible has many forms and styles. He also says that take the literal form of the Bible won’t always work. For example, on page 23, he gives the description of a car flying as a metaphor for driving fast. He then gives a Biblical example, “I am the door.” (John 10:19) to explain the different metaphors throughout the Bible. Understanding creation this can take on the idea that Creation is also a metaphor for human life. For example, humans work 6 days a week and take rest on the 7th
