The Lost World of Adam and Eve: Genesis 2–3 and the Human Origins Debate

For centuries the story of Adam and Eve has resonated richly through the corridors of art, literature and theology. But for most moderns, taking it at face value is incongruous. And even for many thinking Christians today who want to take seriously the authority of Scripture, insisting on a "literal" understanding of Genesis 2–3 looks painfully like a "tear here" strip between faith and science. How can Christians of good faith move forward? Who were the historical Adam and Eve? What if we’ve been reading Genesis and its claims regarding material origins wrong? In what cultural context was this couple, this garden, this tree, this serpent portrayed? Following his groundbreaking The Lost World of Genesis One, John Walton explores the ancient Near Eastern context of Genesis 2–3, creating space for a faithful reading of Scripture along with full engagement with science for a new way forward in the human origins debate. As a bonus, an illuminating excursus by NT Wright places Adam in the implied narrative of Paul’s theology. The Lost World of Adam and Eve will be required reading for anyone seeking to understand this foundational text historically and theologically, and wondering how to view it alongside contemporary understandings of human origins.

Info Detail Spesifik

Of the modern controversies currently facing the church, one of the most heated and most prominent concerns the relationship of the Bible to science in general and human origins in particular. Is there an essential, inherent conflict between the claims of the Bible and the current scientific consensus about human origins (a consensus involving biological evolution, common ancestry, comparative genomics, the fossil record and anthropology, just to name a few of the major contributors)?
