What really happened during the "Creation Days" of Genesis 1? Were they literal 24‑hour days, long epochs, a literary framework, a temple inauguration, functional assignments, or something else entirely? Creation Days offers a groundbreaking, evidence‑based evaluation of the major interpretations of Genesis 1:1-2:3-using a rigorous nine‑variable rubric drawn directly from the biblical text, its literary structure, ancient Near Eastern background, and the full sweep of biblical theology.

Rather than repeating familiar debates, this study asks a sharper question: Which interpretation best accounts for all the textual, historical, literary, and theological data? Each hypothesis-Literal 24‑hour Days, Day‑Age, Framework, Temple Inauguration, Functional Creation, and Analogical Days-is scored across nine carefully defined criteria, including:

• Lexical and grammatical precision ("yom," the evening‑morning formula, ordinals)

• Literary structure and heptadic design

• Historical and cultural correspondence with the ancient Near East

• Pastoral purpose and theological meaning

• Consistency with broader biblical theology

• Canonical development and intertextual connections

• Symbolic coherence and theological depth

• Explanatory economy-which view fits the most data with the fewest assumptions

The results are striking. The Analogical Days interpretation-understanding the days as God's "workdays" presented in ordinary, analogical language-achieves the highest score (45/45). It honors the text's plain presentation while integrating the strengths of other views, avoiding unnecessary strain, and preserving the passage's theological richness, pastoral power, and canonical coherence.

Drawing from Genesis, the Pentateuch, the Psalms, the Prophets, the New Testament, and ancient Near Eastern literature, this book demonstrates how the Creation Days function as a genuine divine disclosure: a structured, theologically charged account that reveals God's sovereign ordering of the cosmos, the dignity of humanity, and the gift of Sabbath rest. It neither collapses the text into rigid concordism nor reduces it to mere symbolism. Instead, it shows how the Bible's opening chapter communicates profound truth through accessible, patterned revelation.

Complete with scoring tables, summaries, appendices, glossary, and study questions, Creation Days equips readers-pastors, students, scholars, and thoughtful lay readers-to evaluate the evidence for themselves and rediscover the wonder of Scripture's opening declaration: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."
