Book Reviews: Henry M. Morris
Today, a winner and a loser–sort of.
The first book is highly recommended, if you are a pastor, or a Sunday School teacher, or simply an individual wanting to do some careful study of the important book of Genesis. The Genesis Record, by Henry M. Morris (published in 1976), is subtitled “A scientific and devotional commentary on the book of beginnings.” The over 650 pages are a rich treasure on both counts, science and devotion, and it provides a careful exposition of the text as well.
A solid defense of creationism. Scholarly, yet the language is clear and simple. If you want to study Genesis, you need this book in your library!
Published in 2004, this is the latest book from the pen of Henry M. Morris (Dr. Morris passed away in 2006). The author again defends the biblical account of creation, within the context of God’s eternal purposes for man.
While there is some good material scattered through this book, it tends to be repetitious and disorganized. The reason for this is likely because much of the book consists of a cobbling together of articles written by Dr. Morris in years past. If you can live with that, you will find some interesting insights in this little volume.
