Description

The Evolution of Adam: How Science and Scripture Can Coexist Can the Bible and evolution be reconciled? Peter Enns, a popular Old Testament scholar, offers a way forward by explaining how traditional Christian teaching presents a tension between Genesis and evolutionary views of human origins. Enns argues that this tension is caused by false expectations about the biblical texts, rather than the discoveries of science. In this 10th anniversary edition, Enns updates readers on developments in the historical Adam debate, helping them reconcile Genesis and Paul with current views on evolution and human origins. The book includes an afterword that reflects Enns's own theological evolution since the first edition. By exploring the intersection of science and scripture, Enns provides a nuanced understanding of the complex issues at the heart of the biblical account of human origins.
