Description
The Lost World of Adam and Eve: Genesis 2-3 and the Human Origins Debate by John H. 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 centuries, the story of Adam and Eve has resonated through art, literature, and theology, but taking it at face value is often incongruous with modern understanding. How can Christians reconcile their faith with scientific perspectives on human origins? Walton delves into the cultural context of Genesis 2-3, examining the historical Adam and Eve, the garden, tree, and serpent in ancient Near Eastern literature. This book offers a fresh approach to understanding Genesis 2-3, combining a close reading of the Hebrew text with knowledge of ancient Near Eastern literature. An illuminating excursus by N.T. Wright adds further insight into Paul's theology and its connection to Adam.
