The Bible Doctrine of Time: "Difficult" Problems in Creation Answered

As a Bible teacher who is acknowledged by some as a steadfast source of a method for discerning, and likewise deciding rightly, Dr. John Penn explains the truths from God’s Word using an historical wholistic approach to Bible interpretation. As a recognized teacher in the field of Hermeneutics, he faithfully uses his knowledge and ability in the field of Bible interpretation. Training his students to solve real problems, he equipped them to help others solve as much as is possible the problems with which they would be confronted in daily life. Ever encouraging students, Dr. Penn often reminded seminarians that the Bible can afford God’s people with the answers to life’s greatest questions. When he noticed ‘missing elements’ among popular trends, he persisted in resourcing students who would otherwise be left thirsting for knowledge of the truth. In this book, he simply began by returning to the proverbial “chalkboard,” defining the term ‘time’ according to the Bible, demonstrating that a working knowledge of the Bible doctrine of “Time” would serve well as a “key of knowledge,” a key that would solve numerous problems heretofore unsolved. This book includes more than “valid” points, more rather, real solutions to many problems historically alleged to be “unsolvable,” proving the inspiration and accuracy of the Bible in an unprecedented manner.” Although, the reader can appreciate that which Morris (1967) stated: “In the last analysis, we must finally conclude that if we are to know anything about creation – its date, processes, order, duration, or anything else – the Creator must tell us, since science can deal only with present processes, and present processes are not creative processes.” (pg. 54); however, the Creator has told us! -Timothy Evans Carter and A.
