Publisher's Synopsis
Can the Big Bang and evolution be reconciled with the Bible? Was everything in the universe created in six days? Was Jesus crucified on a Friday? Is the Christian church supposed to keep the Sabbath? Is the Old Testament still relevant?
Shabua is a Hebrew word used in the Bible to mark time. Shabua Days provides fascinating examples of how the Bible uses shabua for short-term timing. Understanding a biblical shabua enables greater insight into many Bible passages, including the Genesis 1-2 passage regarding Creation.
Since any discussion of Creation is incomplete without also addressing the Big Bang and evolution, Shabua Days thoroughly examines both of these secular theories in addition to the relevant Bible passages. This analysis not only exposes some major unresolved issues in the scientific explanations of both the Big Bang and evolution, but also demonstrates how Creation is part of a precedent-setting shabua. Other topics covered in this book include: the exodus, biblical weddings, manna, the Sabbath, the Feast of Passover, the Feast of Shabua, the crucifixion, the resurrection, Pentecost, and more.
Shabua Days has something eye-opening for every reader, believer and nonbeliever alike. Solid supporting research, the clear presentation of ideas, the attention to detail, and well-argued logical conclusions make for a compelling and worthwhile read that is sure to provide a new perspective on the Bible.
