Genesis and the Creation Account

[These two articles are interrelated, and should be read together.]

• An Overview of the Book of Genesis
  This article focuses on some of the basic themes and other interesting facts that can help us understand the book of Genesis.

• How Long Were the "Seven Days" of Creation?
  This article focuses on the use of the word "day," as it is used in Genesis 1. Many people try to interpret that word as meaning something different than a normal "day," even though the context itself does not warrant it - and neither does any other Scripture passage that makes direct reference to the creation account in Genesis 1.
