Looking forward to it. I was leading church once and spoke about Dr Gerald Shroeders lecture how the Genesis account of creation is reconciled with the universe being 13 billion years old. Someone in church was very unhappy with me.
Dr. Poythress has been publishing a great deal on this in the Westminster Theological Journal--a great deal of which I'm sure will be in this book (some of the chapter titles are titles of articles he published). Looking forward to this book!
