Creation and the Fall: A Defence and Exposition of the First Three Chapters of Genesis
Overview
Feeling compelled to challenge the plethora of books and articles being published which discounted the genuineness of the Bible, Donald MacDonald felt the biggest attack on the Scripture was being aimed at the first three chapters of Genesis. MacDonald’s exhaustively researched book thoroughly covers the first three chapters of Genesis, delivering a strong refutation to those works that consider the Creation and the Fall “poetry, allegory, or mythology.”
