E-text prepared by Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders
"Twilight and Dawn; Or, Simple Talks on the Six Days of Creation" by Caroline Pridham is a didactic book likely written in the late 19th century. It aims to explain the biblical account of creation, presenting it in a way that is accessible and engaging for children and young readers. The author emphasizes the distinction between the story of creation as presented in Scripture and the theory of evolution, intending to ground young minds in biblical truth before they encounter contrary ideas. The opening of the book introduces the author's intention to create a guide that facilitates discussions about creation, geared towards children. It features a conversational tone, addressing the readers as if they are personal companions in the exploration of creation. The first chapter begins with the phrase "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth," setting the stage for a closer examination of each day of creation, starting with the introduction of light. Through storytelling and reflections, the author connects the natural world to its divine origin, inviting readers to ponder the significance of their surroundings and the Creator's role in shaping them. This introductory segment explains the book’s objectives and methodology, clearly establishing a framework for the exploration of profound theological concepts in a child-friendly manner.
