Book review: The Doctrines of Genesis 1-11: A Compendium and Defense of Traditional Catholic Theology on Origins | Oard, MJ. 2008.
JC 22(2):21-22. CELD ID 22168Abstract The Catholic Church's belief about Genesis 1-11 has been in a muddle for a long time-ever sing uniformitarianism and evolution came on the scene. This situation is similar to Protestant churches, sadly for both liberal and conservative ones. Within the 'traditionalist' churches, this book is a welcome addition to the book Genesis, Creation and Early Man by the Russian Orthodox heiromonk Seraphim Rose, who documented that the Church fathers of Eastern Orthodoxy from the fourth century until the present almost all taught a young earth, a literal six-day creation, a global Flood, and the origin of languages at the Tower of Babel. Warkulwiz's book focuses on the traditional teachings of the Catholic church from the early and medieval church fathers and comes to the same conclusions. The book was endorsed with a forward by Bishop Robert Francis Vasa of Baker, Oregon.
