Taking the theme of separation for subject, and basing his investigation on the biblical account of the seven days of the creation (Gen. 1,1-2,4a), Paul Beauchamp succeeded in combining exegetic method with the science of language and the human sciences. Published in 1969 in the "Bibliothèque de sciences religieuses", Paul Beauchamp's first book has become a great classic of the years that followed the Second Vatican Council. Constantly quoted but no longer in print, this book simply had to be made available once more.
