LONGWOOD, FL-Who was Cain's wife? Did he marry his own sister? Questions like these have plagued Bible readers over the years. Here is another stumper: Genesis 1:5 says: "God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morningÑthe first day. It seems that right on the first day light was used to create day and night. What about the seemingly contradictory bible passage from Genesis 1:16? Concerning the fourth day, it reads, "God made two great lights-the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars." What was this light? Questions like these are answered in a new book called CLARIFIED, Answers to 101 Intriguing Bible Questions. It covers tough questions that generally leave readers quite puzzled. Non-Christians will also benefit from the answers provided in this book, as they work through old theories and their doubts about the faith.
CLARIFIED, Answers to 101 Intriguing Bible Questions (September, $19.99, 1-59781-428-8) clears through the clutter of misunderstandings, making even the most difficult bible passages easy to comprehend. On one occasion, Author Michael Pedrin met a seeker who searched for a convincing explanation on a puzzling Bible verse for twenty-seven years! Not fully satisfied with the answers he got from various sources, the man's search finally ended after providentially meeting this author. Pedrin's inspiration is to help others discover answers and, ultimately, marvel at the unity of the bible. His focus is not doctrine-related. The book is destined to be enjoyed by all Christian denominations. Pedrin provides simple logical and scriptural rationale for his findings.
