6/24 Creation Genesis Commentary

[JML]

I am looking for a good, reformed Genesis commentary that takes the literal view of Creation as 6, 24 hour days. What are some commentaries you would suggest that meet this criteria? Preferably, I would like recommendations of commentaries that are still in print as I would like to purchase one.

Currid has a commentary out for Genesis that has 6/24 days. He has a commentary for every Torah book I believe, Lane recommends them. They are in two volumes: Genesis Volume 1 and Volume 2

Also: Paradise to Prison

Yes Currid's stuff is really good.

I'm not sure it's Reformed, but Dr. Henry Morris' commentary on Genesis is very good.

I recommend Reformed Free Publishing Association — Genesis, Studies in the Book of

These publishers are affiliated with the Protestant Reformed Church. This volume does not overemphasize any of their distinctives. It is non-technical, and it always seemed to have a helpful insight or two.

Not the most 'academic' commentary series, but very good nonetheless:

Amazon.com: The Book of Origins: Genesis Simply Explained (Welwyn Commentary Series) (9780852344842): Philip H. Eveson: Books

 

[Romans922]

I have found in my preaching through Genesis that Studies in the Book of Genesis: Robert C. Harbach: 9780916206697: Amazon.com: Books this book is quite exhaustive and not too technical, but still clear.

Attached is a paper I wrote a while back summarizing historical commentaries which take the 6/24 view. References all link to books which are free online. They include commentaries from: Basil, Ambrose, Augustine, Luther, and Calvin.

I was reading through Richard Belcher's commentary on Genesis (Focus on the Bible Series) this morning; he walks through the various different "non-literal" approaches to Genesis as well as views which are non-traditional "literal" views (e.g., Gap Theory), shows the various problems with them, and winds up landing on a traditional 24/6 view.
