Genesis creation narrative

Hexaemeron (from Greek ἕξ hex, six ' and ἡμέρα Hemera ' day ' ) is a term for the six days of creation in Genesis (Gen 1:1-2:4 EU) or for an essay about it.

These papers give besides theological explanations always a good notion of the world and of the scientific knowledge of the time. Significantly about the Hexaemeron Bonaventure is the inclusion of the heliocentric world view in his theology ( 1273).
