What we call the framework hypothesis he calls the ideal theory. According to the ideal view, the 6 days are not to be seen as chronologically ordered periods of longer or shorter duration, but the logical order of created being.Guy Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09184743462264437085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17617194.post-50004583654976040182011-07-26T22:02:40.982+01:002011-07-26T22:02:40.982+01:00Hi Guy,

Does he anywhere address this explicitly?<br /><br />From what you say, it sounds as if Bavinck was advocating a view that is very similar to the framework view in some respects. He seems to be advocating what's known as the analogical view. That the days are God's work days and by analogy are related to our days. <br /><br />Is this anything like what Bavinck teaches?<br /><br />The only difference between the framework and the analogical view is that the latter sees the days as being in sequential order, whereas the framework sees them in topical order. Other than that both share a figurative interpretation of Genesis 1.James Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08160624555235723633noreply@blogger.com
