Synopsis

Why Six Days followed by a day of rest? is not a book about young-earth creation. Nor is it a book exhorting the necessity of a good hermeneutic to properly understand and apply the Gospel to everyday living. It's not even a book about eschatology. It is all of these. And more. "Why Six Days?" asks, outlines, and answers the question of why God claimed to have created the universe in six literal days followed by a day of rest. The answer contains startling conclusions of God's clear revelation contained within those six days. As the prophet Isaiah noted, God has declared the end from the beginning. Dr. Marks documents this idea, held by the ancient Jews, the Disciples, the early church, and theologians since that time. That understanding is that God foretold of the millennial reign of Jesus Christ as the seventh day of creation. His "resting" on the seventh day, and the commands to observe the Sabbath, are all part of God's revelation of these events. Not for sensationalism. Not to detract from the Gospel. But, an integrated part of bringing Himself glory.

About this title

From the Inside Flap

The answer to "Why six Days?" is both a reflection of your theology, and has an impact on your theology. The answer reveals what you believe about what is true and correct, and it will mold what you believe is true and correct. Just as whether we hold to a literal view of Genesis as a historical narrative, or that Genesis is something other, the answer to "Why six Days?" impacts all of theology. What we believe about salvation (soteriology) and the processes by which God reveals and imparts salvation. What we believe about knowledge (epistemology), and arrive at answers to the question of "What do we know and how do we know it?". What we believe about God Himself (theology proper), including His character, attributes, actions. It affects our view of mankind (anthropology) and the process of studying ourselves, our nature, our purpose. And, finally, it will impact our view of the end of things (eschatology).
