Genomic science indicates that humans descend not from an individual pair but from a large 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 offer informed guidance and answers to questions pertaining to evolution, genomic science, and the historical Adam. Some of the 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 recent genomic science? - How do Genesis's creation stories reflect their ancient Near Eastern context, and how did Judaism understand the Adam and Eve of Genesis? - Doesn't Paul's use of Adam in the New Testament prove that Adam was a historical individual? The authors address up-to-date genomics data with expert commentary from both genetic and theological perspectives, showing that genome research and Scripture are not irreconcilable. Foreword by Tremper Longman III and afterword by Daniel Harrell. (Publisher). Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I had hoped for more conclusions from Venema, but he had a lot of good insights about the conclusions of genetic biology about what DNA can tell us about the relationships between species, the age of the modern human race, and the size of the emerging human population at that time. 3/5 for a bit too much explanation that didn’t seem relevant.
McKnight’s half of the book was excellent as he explored the different ways that Adam has been treated historically, in both biblical and extra-biblical literature, with special attention to Paul. He concludes that Adam is overwhelmingly literary and typological, also becoming viewed genealogically. The main question I was left with was why/how Adam would have moved from a literary to a genealogical figure. I saw Dr. McKnight shortly after finishing the book and asked him about this. The dissatisfying but honest answer is that we don’t know. 5/5 (
