Book review: A Biblical Case for an Old Earth
Opderbeck, DW. 2007.  PSCF 59(2):160. CELD ID 21862

Abstract
In this book, ASA Fellow David Snoke, a professor of physics at the University of Pittsburgh, presents a case for a "day-age" view of Genesis 1. Snoke's twin goals are to establish that the "day-age" view is a valid alternative for Christians who hold to biblical inerrancy and to argue for a concordist understanding of the Genesis texts and modern science. He succeeds admirably at the first goal, but is less persuasive concerning the second.
