Collins is a theologian, not a scientist, so the book is heavy on theology and light on science – the science minded folks among us will mind, but for most Christians, this is the sort of book they need. I was impressed: Collins was even-handed, thoughtful, and serious, and he dealt with a variety of positions (including those of people who gleefully smear his own position) with considerable respect and care. Collins traces the theological argument throughout Scripture arguing for a historical Adam and Eve, and he does so with careful attention paid not only to the strong New Testament and philosophical arguments for their historicity and the authority of Scripture, but also with regard to ANE literary context and genre. In short, Collins' treatment was thorough and excellent. His final didactic chapter, examining which proposed options are allowed by the text, is and will remain an excellent resource and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"We need a real Adam and Eve if we are to make sense of the Bible and of life," argues C. John Collins. Examining the biblical storyline as the worldview story of the people of God, Collins shows how that story presupposes a real Adam and Eve and how the modern experience of life points to the same conclusion. Applying well-informed critical thinking to common theological and scientific questions, Collins asserts the importance of a real man at the beginning in God's plan for creation, a plan that includes "redemption" for all people since sin entered the world. Did Adam and Eve Really Exist? addresses both biblical and Jewish texts and contains extensive appendices to examine how the material in Genesis relates to similar material from Mesopotamian myths. Collins's detailed analysis of the relevant texts will instill confidence in readers that the traditional Christian story equips them better than any alternatives to engage the life that they actually encounter in the modern world. - Publisher.

C. John Collins invites both doubts and scholarship to the table. Applying well-informed, critical thinking to questions raised by theologians and scientists alike, Collins examines the historicity and relevance of a real Adam and Eve, ultimately answering the questions: Did Adam and Eve really exist? And why should we care?
