Here is a set of books that would be an incredible resource for any student of the Bible or any Christian family. Henry Morris is a stalwart figure in Biblical Creationism and for all the literature produced in recent years in that field you’d be hard pressed to find anything that he hadn’t already said here. I think of him as the perfect marriage between science and childlike faith. He has the skills to go to the deepest levels of technical science while making himself clear to those of us who’ve thought little of it since our school days. He’s no slouch in theology either.

I first encountered Dr. Morris when I was a young Christian including some of these books. It’s been fun to drink from these waters again and to encounter some titles never seen before. There’s not a dud in the lot, but let me focus on four titles:

1. The Biblical Basis for Science—This huge book is a semester class in itself. In fact, I wish every young person went through it. Here is where the depth of Dr. Morris’ ability shines forth. Many of the great scientific disciplines are covered to the point you’d have a grasp of them and yet it’s tied to theology just as deep. At one point he was discussing the Triunity of God as well as the Hypostatic Union. Can you image the value of young people having this exposure? For that matter, most adults need it too. If I only wanted one of his books, I’d likely pick this one.
2. Scientific Creationism—This one takes an interesting track. Seven of its eight chapters pit two items, e.g. chaos or cosmos; accident or plan, to discuss Creation versus Evolution. The final lengthy chapter tackles some of the main issues in Creationism with Scriptural evidence.
3. Many Infallible Proofs—Don’t miss this one. It takes Scriptural issues and uses science to help with its assessment. This one is also on its own track and is not a regurgitation of other books at all.
4. The Beginning of the World—I loved this commentary on the earlier chapters of Genesis.

Don’t overlook the rest of the set. “Men of Science, Men of God” is a jewel of a little book that shows that all the gifted fathers of Science were avowed Bible believers. “Biblical Creationism” is actually designed like many modern works of Biblical theology. He traces the theme from Genesis to Revelation, which is a wonderful way to consider a subject at the macro level. “God and the Nations” takes a look at civilizations in biblical history and casts an eye toward prophecy. In “The Bible Has the Answer” Dr. Morris tackles a wide variety of difficult questions. This is likely one you will reference rather than read cover to cover.

Two of the titles would be helpful especially from an apologetics standpoint: “Defending the Faith” and “The Long War Against God”.

I would read “What Is Creation Science?” last not because it’s inferior, but because it’s the most technical. After you ingested the others, you would no doubt be ready for it.

These books are awesome. There is some overlap with a few of the titles, but the learning that could gleaned here is incalculable. I highly recommend them.

I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.
