Book review: The Seven Pillars of Creation: The Bible, Science, and the Ecology of Wonder
Walton, JH. 2011.  PSCF 63(2):138-139. CELD ID 24915

Abstract
William Brown, whose work on creation theology is already well represented in his Ethos of the Cosmos (Eerdmans, 1999), has now provided an integrative work encompassing aspects of science and biblical theology. He bases his work on seven key creation passages of the Hebrew Bible that he dubs the seven pillars of creation, and invites the reader to join him as he explores points of conversation between the Bible and science. The seven pillars he identifies are (1) Gen. 1:1–2:3; (2) Gen. 2:4b-3:24; (3) Job 38–41; (4) Ps. 104; (5) Prov. 8:22–31; (6) Eccles. 1:2–11; 12:1–7; and (7) Isa. 40–55.
