The First Four Days of Creation

Have you ever wanted to truly picture the opening chapter of the Bible, the creation account whose immortal first words, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth,” you have surely heard? For perhaps the first time in Catholic history, the first four days of creation are explicated in such vivid and literal detail that even the imagination is amazed.

In just under 500 pages, Robert Sungenis, Ph.D., retells one of Scripture's most fascinating narratives day by day and hour by hour. Rejecting the Big Bang as a fantasy of modern men who have largely rejected the God of the Bible, he takes the days of Genesis as the factual, verbatim accounts they were meant to be. Along the way you will see why God made a great Light on the first day, before the sun and stars of the fourth; why he set the Earth within a vast ball of icy water; why the firmament of the second day is hard in the first half of the story and ethereal in the second; what became of the Great Light and the waters as the firmament was stretched out into the far reaches of space; what outer space is actually made of, for it is not nothing; how God raised the Earth's dry land from beneath the waters; how the plants and trees came forth on the third day; and why the Earth cannot be more than a few thousand years old.

To help you square the biblical account with the findings of science, Sungenis adds dozens of references to current and newly discovered facts from modern and popular scientists who, often without realizing it, support the details of the creation story. It is a one-of-a-kind book, and an heirloom to pass on to your children and theirs.
