Book review: Science, Scripture and the Young Earth
Menninga, C. 1984.  JASA 36(3):177-178. CELD ID 22361

Abstract
This small book is subtitled An Answer to Current Arguments Against the Biblical Doctrine of Recent Creation, and it consists almost entirely of a response to the book Christianity and the Age of the Earth by Davis A. Young (Zondervan, 1982). Davis Young's book, which argues for an ancient Earth on the basis of geological evidence, and presents theological arguments for accepting that conclusion, has received favorable reviews in a wide range of Christian journals. Young's book was listed among the best books of 1982 by Eternity magazine. Henry Morris, a leading spokesman for the young Earth view, has written this book to argue against Young's conclusions on both scientific and theological issues.
