Abstract
Nothing is known of Fowler De Johnsone apart from the words of his book addressed to William Buckland in 1838. The author, who identifies himself as a Reverend, is very zealous to defend the Word of God. However, his style is overly pompous and his arguments are vacuous. His writing is not typical of the scriptural geologists (none of whom are referred to) and does not deal with the then current issues in the Genesis-geology debate. The result is reminiscent of well-meaning Christians who fear science and sound the battle cry against it, rather than being willing to engage their God-given minds to see the revelation of His eternal power and divine nature in His creation and to carefully defend the clear teaching of His Word.
