Great book!Godfrey comes to the conclusion the "Days" in Gen. 1 probably were long periods of time based only upon interpretation from the Bible itself. Godfrey is truly a theologian. Nowhere does he give as an argument any discoveries from science, but instead, reaches his conclusion just from the structure of Genesis. Very interesting reading!Godfrey's ideas have similarities with astrophysicist Hugh Ross's interpretation of Genesis 1, especially in connection with Day 4 (Creation of Sun, Moon, Stars...). Godfrey says: "The Biblical text seems to suggest that day four is not about the creation of a new and different source for the light created on day one but rather is now pointing us to the lights that fill the sky and that always were the source of light. In other words, day one and day four describe the same creative act of God from different perspectives..."If you want to see a Biblical approach "harmonizing" the Bible's explanation of Creation Days with science (a heretical notion if you're a "24 hr Day" person) Godfrey's analysis comes pretty close explaining how God could have done it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helps to reconcile the Bible with an old earth *by P***K on May 31, 2007* This book is one of several that significantly help to make the point that the Bible does not preclude the possibility of an old earth and an old universe. Other books are also helpful in this regard, including C. John Collins' Genesis 1-4: A Linguistic, Literary, And Theological Commentary, Rodney Whitefield's Reading Genesis One, David Snoke's A Biblical Case for an Old Earth, Mark S. Whorton's Peril in Paradise: Theology, Science, and the Age of the Earth, and Hugh Ross's Creation and Time: A Biblical and Scientific Perspective on the Creation-Date Controversy.I highly recommend all of them, including Godfrey's "God's Pattern for Creation," to anyone struggling with reconciling the Bible with the scientific evidence for an old earth or struggling with how to convince young earth creationists that young earth creationism is not the only possible way to interpret the Bible.In addition to 80+ pages of text supporting compatibility of the Bible with an old earth through a careful examination of the words of the Bible, this book includes appendices on "Calvin on Creation," and "The Reformed Confessions on Creation." It is a worthwhile investment. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by B***N on April 4, 2017* This is an excellent book on this topic -- much better and more reasonable than the speculation going on in today's society. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/8895477-gods-pattern-for-creation-a-covenantal-reading-of-genesis-1](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/8895477-gods-pattern-for-creation-a-covenantal-reading-of-genesis-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
