Book review: Genesis, Creation and Early Man
Mortenson, T. 2002.  TJ 16(3):48-53. CELD ID 16025

Abstract
This 709-page book is a welcome addition to the creationist literature in that it is further strong evidence that Hugh Ross, Gleason Archer and other old-Earth proponents do not have a historical leg to stand on when promoting their interpretations of Genesis. With many lengthy quotations form the 'Holy Fathers' of Eastern Orthodoxy from the fourth century to the present, the book reinforces the assertion that a Six-Day Creation about 6,000 years ago, followed by a global catastrophic Flood, has been the historic teaching of the church until the 19th century.
