"A proper understanding of Genesis 1 is foundational to genuine reverence and lover for the Creator of heaven and earth. In these three studies, the renowned Old Testament scholar E.J. Young provides analysis of the first chapter of Genesis, with special reference to the relationship between verses 1 and 2-3, the days of Genesis, and the 'framework' hypothesis."
