Much study in chiastic structure in OT and NT, something other commentators hit and miss. Pett sometimes overdoes it, but at least consistently attempts to find the central point of a pericope by examining chiasm.
In Genesis (over) stresses emphasis on numerology used by the ancients, so that exact numbers where rarely if ever accurate, but alway symbolic in meaning. His purpose is to disuade young earth insistence on exact chronology.
Thank you! Very helpful.
He is a Calvinist according to studylight. I have a quote of his that I am using in building an argument against Calvinism. Wanted to know more about him.
