Book Description
Ignored Biblical Hebrew Record relating to the Pre-Historical Past conclusively invalidates all conventional and current theories of creation such as Traditional Six-day Young Earth Creationism, Progressive Creationism, Theistic Evolution and Creation Science. Pre-Historical Pre-Adamic Biblical Theology dares to look back in time through the eyes of the OT/NT Prophets and Teachers and validate overlooked pre-historical realities. Subsequently, it seeks to convincingly figure out the future by attempting to understand pre-historical past realities. Traditional and current views relating to Creation and Origins lack convincing Biblical credibility. Scriptures relating to prehistoric creation, however, advocate Pre-Historical Pre-Adamic realities, that can’t be ignored; hence, the same need to be convincingly accepted as biblical truth a propos God’s pre-historical works of creation; notwithstanding, faulty interpretations of Scriptures relating to Creation. This maiden Treatise, should pose a definite challenge to predisposed Creationists to disprove its assertions. Unbiased readers of this Treatise, who take their time to study and ascertain the truthfulness of what is presented herein will, hopefully, believe convincingly. Nonetheless, those who are biased will perhaps continue to hang on to traditional sacrosanct beliefs no matter how gravely the same diverge from the pattern of Biblical-Hebrew Words relating to Creation and Origins!

Four Views on the Historical Adam
Author: Denis Lamoureux
Publisher: Zondervan Academic
ISBN: 0310499283
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Were the biblical Adam and Eve historical figures, or are the early events described in Genesis primarily symbolic in nature? Behind the debate of a historical Adam is the age-old debate about evolution and the agreement between Scripture and science. With an introduction that outlines the history and main points of every viewpoint from Darwinism to Young Earth Creationism, this book then clearly outlines four primary views on Adam held by evangelical Christians. Contributors include Denis O. Lamoureux, John H. Walton, C. John Collins, and William Barrick. Each focuses his essay on answering the following questions: What is the biblical case for your viewpoint, and how do you reconcile it both with modern science and with passages and potential interpretations that seem to counter it? In what ways is your view more theologically consistent and coherent than other views? What are the implications of your view for the spiritual life and public witness of the church and individual believers, and how is your view a healthier alternative for both? This book allows each contributor to not only present the case for his view, but also to critique and respond to the critiques of the other contributors, allowing you to compare their beliefs in an open forum setting to see where they overlap and where they differ. Concluding reflections by pastor-scholars Gregory A. Boyd and Philip Graham Ryken highlight the significance of the topic in the faith of everyday believers. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.

Adam and the Genome
Author: Scot McKnight
Publisher: Brazos Press
ISBN: 1493406744
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 343
Book Description
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.

The Evolution of Adam
Author: Peter Enns
Publisher: Brazos Press
ISBN: 1493432702
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Can Christianity and evolution coexist? Traditional Christian teaching presents Jesus as reversing the effects of the fall of Adam. But an evolutionary view of human origins doesn't allow for a literal Adam, making evolution seemingly incompatible with what Genesis and the apostle Paul say about him. For Christians who both accept evolution and want to take the Bible seriously, this can present a faith-shaking tension. Popular Old Testament scholar Peter Enns offers a way forward by explaining how this tension is caused not by the discoveries of science but by false expectations about the biblical texts. 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. This edition includes an afterword that explains Enns's own theological evolution since the first edition released.

Book Description
The story of Adam and Eve is more than just an ancient tale; it is the cornerstone of the Christian understanding of human origins, sin, and redemption. Yet, in an age where scientific discoveries offer new insights into the history of humanity, many are left wondering: Can the biblical account of Adam and Eve be reconciled with the evidence provided by genetics, anthropology, and evolutionary theory?

Andrews delves into the various interpretations of Genesis, critically examines the theological and scientific challenges, and offers a path forward that respects the authority of Scripture and the contributions of contemporary science. Whether you are a pastor, a student of theology, or simply a believer seeking answers, this book provides the tools to navigate one of the most challenging topics of our time with clarity, conviction, and confidence. Discover how faith and fact can coexist as you explore the historical reality of Adam and Eve and what it means for your understanding of the Bible, humanity, and the purpose of creation.

Adam as Israel
Author: Seth D Postell
Publisher: James Clarke & Company
ISBN: 0227900235
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Postell contends that the opening chapters of the Bible, when interpreted as a strategic literary introduction to the Torah and to the Tanakh, intentionally foreshadows Israel's failure to keep the Sinai Covenant and their consequent exile from the Promised Land, in order to point the reader to a future work of God. Postell highlights numerous intentional links between the story of Adam and the story of Israel and, in the process, explains numerous otherwise perplexing features of the Eden story. Postell employs a wealth of theologies to support his argument including those of Nicholas of Lyra, John Calvin, Wellhausen, Johannes Coccejus and Matthew Poole; successfully breathing new life into the wealth of exegeses.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 508
Book Description
The Christian doctrines of original sin and the historical fall of Adam have been in retreat since the rise of modernity. Here leading scholars present a theological, biblical, and scientific case for the necessity of belief in original sin and the historicity of Adam and Eve in response to contemporary challenges. Representing various Christian traditions, the contributors shed light on recent debates as they present the traditional doctrine of original sin as orthodox, evangelical, and the most theologically mature and cogent synthesis of the biblical witness. This fresh look at a heated topic in evangelical circles will appeal to professors, students, and readers interested in the creation-evolution debate.
