About this Item

Whitcomb, John C.; DeYoung, Donald B. - The Moon: Its Creation, Form and Significance. Winona Lake, Indiana: BMH Books, 1978. First Edition. Hardcover. A scarce 1978 first edition of this influential creationist examination of lunar origins, presenting a synthesis of astrophysical observations, critiques of naturalistic theories, and biblical interpretation. This copy is especially distinctive for its neatly executed, extensive scholarly annotations throughout, suggesting careful study by a researcher engaged with lunar science, apologetics, or the scientific-religious discourse of the late 20th century. Chapters address crater morphology, transient lunar phenomena, tidal mechanics, orbital dynamics, and theological perspectives; the acknowledgments reference Apollo 15 astronaut James Irwin and creation-science pioneer Henry Morris, situating the work firmly within its intellectual and cultural movement. Condition: Very Good, with glossy pictorial boards showing edgewear, light rubbing, and bumping to spine ends; binding sound. Text clean aside from the consistent and legible research annotations, an appealing feature for collectors of marginalia, working copies, or creation-science history. No dust jacket issued, as typical for BMH. Rear cover retains the original printed price of $7.95. John C. Whitcomb, Th.D. (1924-2020) was a leading figure in 20th-century creationist theology, best known for co-authoring The Genesis Flood (1961), the foundational text of the modern young-earth creationist movement. A professor of Old Testament and theology, he taught for decades at Grace Theological Seminary. Donald B. DeYoung, Ph.D. is a physicist specializing in solid-state and nuclear science, as well as astronomy. A longtime professor at Grace College, his work appears in numerous physics and creation-science publications. DeYoung has written extensively on astronomy from a Christian perspective and remains a recognized voice within evangelical scientific education.
