Jim Bell suggested a couple of references for you, and let me just
re-post a couple that Terry Gray posted a few weeks ago in relation
to the age of the earth from Gen. 1:
"Space and Time in the Genesis Cosmogony", Meredith Kline,
Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith, 48:2-15 (1996).
(available on-line at http://mcgraytx.calvin.edu/ASA/PSCF3-96Kline.html)
and
"Because it Had Not Rained", Meredith Kline,
The Westminster Theological Journal 20 (1958) 146-157.
One of Kline's concerns is to rebut the literalist interpretation of
the Genesis creation week.
