n“Probably
so far as I know, there is no professor of Hebrew or Old
Testament at any world-class university who dares not believe
that the writer(s) of Gen. 1-11 intended to convey to their
readers the ideas that creation took place in a series of six days
which are the same as the days of 24 hours we now experience…”
Professor James Barr, Professor of Hebrew at the University of Oxford.
