An In-Depth Look at Genesis 1
by Jeff Palansch

Genesis 1 has sparked one of the most debated questions among Christians: Were the days of creation literal 24-hour periods, or something else?

This book doesn't aim to win an argument, but to listen closely to the biblical text. Written by a Bible teacher trained in exegesis, not science, this study focuses on what Moses meant when he wrote Genesis 1–2.

With clarity and care, it walks through the structure, emphasis, and literary cues in the passage – helping readers consider whether the 24-hour-day view is truly what the text presents.

Inside, you'll find:

• deep, accessible exploration of Genesis 1 from a biblical studies perspective
• Reasons why the author believes Moses didn’t intend 24-hour days
• Insight into how faithful, Scripture-loving Christians come to different views
• Tools for better conversations and deeper personal reflection

Whether you're a committed young-earther, a curious old-earther, or simply seeking clarity, this book will help you read Genesis 1 with fresh eyes – and worship the Creator more deeply because of it.
