NEW: TH331 Perspectives on Creation: Six Views on Its Meaning and Significance
Our latest course available for pre-order is TH331 Perspectives on Creation: Six Views on Its Meaning and Significance featuring several top scholars discussing their view of the creation account:
The belief that God created the world is foundational for Christians. However, the exact nature of God’s work in creation is debated. In this course, six leading Old Testament scholars present the distinct features and biblical bases of their particular views:
- Joseph A. Pipa Jr.—Six-Day Creation
- Mark D. Futato—Literary Framework
- C. John Collins—Analogical Days View
- Tremper Longman III—Evolutionary Creationism
- John H. Walton—Identity Accounts
- James B. Jordan—Creation by Faith
As they unpack the meaning and significance of the creation account, they discuss topics like hermeneutics, the genre of Genesis 1, the nature of the days in the creation week, ancient Near Eastern backgrounds and ancient cosmology, the relationship between the Bible and science, and the theological implications these various views have for the believer. This course will provide you with a better understanding of the different positions Christians hold regarding creation and will equip you to be able to explain the different issues involved in Genesis 1–2.

Are any of these proponents of the Gap Theory?

"The Unbelievable Work...believe it or not." Little children...Biblical prophecy is not Christianity's friend.

Miles sir... any thoughts on what books this course might utilize? I know it is early but if you know the main ones it would help so I can start researching what I'll need. Thank you

Thanks for asking! I appreciate the opportunity to get resources on sale, well in advance of a course shipping. (I missed out on a few sales, not knowing that a course was going to use a particular resource.)
Thanks to FL for including Carta and a Hebrew audio bible in Logos 9!

This course is under production now, so I'm reasonably confident that it will make use of the following books:
- https://www.logos.com/product/52898/how-to-read-genesis
- https://www.logos.com/product/7483/creation-in-six-days-a-defense-of-the-traditional-reading-of-genesis-one
- https://www.logos.com/product/46731/genesis-1-as-ancient-cosmology
- https://www.logos.com/product/52907/the-lost-world-of-genesis-one-ancient-cosmology-and-the-origins-debate
- https://www.logos.com/product/54041/three-views-on-creation-and-evolution
- https://www.logos.com/product/54039/four-views-on-the-historical-adam
There will likely be more. In general, if a speaker has a book or books related to the topic we will prioritize those resources in our reading links. I hope this helps.

Miles,
For what it is worth, John MacArthur has a book in Logos called Battle for the Beginning that deals with taking Genesis as a literal 6 days. Good book and I'd be a good consideration for your readings in my opinion.

Still would like an answer to this question. If the answer is "no", then you really ought to find a credible advocate of GT. The arguments against GT that I have seen are fragile, feeble, and extraordinarily overconfident. I don't advocate GT, but I would like to see a strong promotion of it that addresses some of the supposed refutations of it.

I agree that it would be good to have this view covered in the course.

I'm not super well-versed on the Gap Theory, but from what I understand it's no long common among biblical scholars. None of the speakers in this course are proponents of it. I'm not sure if any of them interact with it or not though.
