The Lost World of Adam and Eve

Genesis 2-3 and the debate on human origins.

“Can an interpretation of Genesis 2-3 be faithful to the biblical text and be supported by the most legitimate claims of science? Can one exalt the accounts of the creation and fall of Adam and Eve in light of all the partial parallels in other ancient Near Eastern literatures and still believe in the inerrancy of Scripture? John Walton shows that the answer to both questions is a resounding ‘yes.’ Whether one agrees or disagrees with every detail of Walton’s interpretation, one has to admire the brilliance, clarity, and sensitivity of his approach. This is a must-read for anyone who thinks they have to choose between faith and science.” Craig L. Blomberg, Distinguished Professor of New Testament, Denver Seminary
