Under the Firmament: A Biblical Study of Creation, Heavens, and Earth

Paste this into the Description box: What does the Bible actually say about the earth, the heavens, and the firmament?Under the Firmament is a Scripture-centered examination of the biblical creation account. Rather than beginning with modern theories or inherited assumptions, James E. Robbins invites readers to return to the words of Scripture and carefully consider how God describes His creation.Through a thoughtful study of passages from Genesis, Job, Psalms, the Prophets, and other books of the Bible, this book explores important questions: What is the firmament?What are the waters above?What does Scripture mean when it speaks of the foundations and pillars of the earth?Why are the heavens described as being stretched out?What are the great deep, the windows of heaven, and the storehouses and chambers of heaven?Where did God place the sun, moon, and stars, and what purposes did He assign to them?Under the Firmament does not ask readers to accept conclusions without examination. It encourages them to open their Bibles, study every passage in context, compare Scripture with Scripture, and prayerfully consider what the inspired Word of God declares.The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The earth displays His wisdom and power. And the biblical account of creation deserves to be read carefully, faithfully, and with a heart willing to receive what God has spoken.
