Literary Framework

Summary:

This view based on analysis of the Hebrew text says that exegesis indicates that the scheme of the creation week itself is a poetic figure and that the several pictures of creation history are set within the six work-day frames not chronologically but topically. This view requires neither a young or old earth.

Proponents of this view:

Meredith G. Kline, Mark Futato, Bruce Waltke, Henri Blocher
