Of a Non-Evolutionist Old-Earth Calvinist

Lee Irons, The Days of Genesis (MP3)

I guess my take on Genesis 1 is not as far from the Framework Perspective as I had imagined (although I think it avoids the pitfalls of that view--perhaps I should call my version the Historicist Framework Perspective). I don't agree with everything here, I wish Irons were more Jordanesque in places, and I find the terms "literal" and "figurative" unhelpful in this discussion (I consider my own interpretation of the Genesis 1 creation days to be both literal and figurative), but this lecture shows that one can be an orthodox Calvinist and disagree with the twenty-four-hour-days interpretation for purely historical-grammatical reasons.
