This book is about whether Genesis 1 talks about a solid firmament, a heavenly ocean, and a flat earth.

Theistic evolutionists (or evolutionary creationist) advocate these interpretation. They argue that Genesis is the language of its day - a kind of ancient cosmology, not to be related to Science in any way. This is known as "accommodationism" which affirms that the inspired writers used ideas that his audience would understand in order to teach that the God of Israel was the creator.

This book advocates Historical Creationism - a view that holds Genesis 1 to be an historical account of a creation 'week'. It is a short study of these three aspects of Genesis: the firmament: the waters above the firmament: and the earth and seas.

It presents a fairly literal view of Genesis - the firmament and the waters above the firmament are not mythical elements but historical aspects of God-manifestation in the account. The concept of the earth is not flat of a 'flat earth' (or a 'planet' for that matter) but just one of 'dry land' or 'all land'.

The book offers an interpretation of Days One, Tow and Four centered around God-manifestation, which is distinctively Christadelphian way of reading.
