Abstract

The Literary Framework view of the days of creation is becoming increasingly popular among evangelicals today. Advocates hold to a non-concordist view of Genesis and modern science and attempt to demonstrate that Genesis 1 was never intended to communicate scientific truth or literal history. Although they still affirm that the characters and events of Genesis 1 are historical, they deny that such events actually occurred in the way Genesis appears to describe them. This paper focuses in particular on the Literary Framework views of Meredith G. Kline and Henri Blocher, and demonstrates that such views have no exegetical or theological basis whatsoever. In addition, a defence of the traditional, literal, historical interpretation is also presented.
