Description

Genomic science indicates that humans descend not from a person pair but from a big population. What does this mean for the basic claim of many Christians: that humans descend from Adam and Eve?
Leading evangelical geneticist Dennis Venema and popular New Testament scholar Scot McKnight combine their expertise to provide informed guidance and answers to questions pertaining to evolution, genomic science, and the historical Adam. One of the most questions they explore include:

– Is there credible evidence for evolution?
– Do we descend from a population or are we the offspring of Adam and Eve?
– Does taking the Bible seriously mean rejecting up to date genomic science?
– How do Genesis’s creation stories reflect their ancient Near Eastern context, and how did Judaism consider the Adam and Eve of Genesis?
– Doesn’t Paul’s use of Adam within the New Testament prove that Adam was once a historical individual?

The authors address up-to-date genomics data with expert statement from both genetic and theological perspectives, showing that genome research and Scripture don’t seem to be irreconcilable. Foreword by Tremper Longman III and afterword by Daniel Harrell.
