What People are Saying About This
Loren Haarsma
"Christians who care about origins issues should definitely read Beyond the Firmament. It is well-written and easy to understand, and it nicely summarizes what God's Word and God's world are telling us about creation. It includes the best discussion I've read for how and why we should put ourselves in the mindset of the original author and audience of Genesis, and how doing so will help us understand the real message of Genesis so we can get beyond the debates about creation, age, and evolution."--(Loren Haarsma, Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy, Calvin College)
John H. Walton
"I have read many books over the years attempting to deal with the Bible and Science. It is rare to find one that can address both the Bible and Science well and offer straightforward discussion that cuts through the complexity of the subject. Glover's faith is communicated strongly, his understanding of the Bible's demands is well-informed, and his presentation of the scientific evidence is persuasive, concise, and remarkably clear. It is just the right kind of book to put into the hands of someone who is struggling with the subject. I have been recommending this book to everyone."--(John H. Walton, Department of Biblical and Theological Studies, Wheaton College and Graduate School)
Stephen Matheson
"What does it mean to hold a high view of biblical revelation while honestly considering the facts of natural history? Gordon Glover has created a delightfully readable yet comprehensive exploration of the relationship between the Genesis narratives and the science of our day, focusing on the context in which those narratives were given to humankind. Beyond the Firmament combines clarity and wit, honoring the Word of God while respecting our understanding of God's world. This is an impressive achievement for the author and a Godsend for Christians."--(Stephen Matheson, Associate Professor of Biology, Calvin College)
