Discover for yourself the much-anticipated treatment of human origins.

Was Adam a real historical person? And if so, who was he and when did he live? WILLIAM LANE CRAIG SETS OUT to answer these questions through a biblical and scientific investigation. He begins with an inquiry into the genre of Genesis 1-11, determining that it can most plausibly be classified as mytho-history — a narrative with both literary and historical value. He then moves into the New Testament, where he examines references to Adam in the words of Jesus and the writings of Paul, ultimately concluding that the entire Bible considers Adam the historical progenitor of the human race — a position that must therefore be accepted as a premise for Christians who take seriously the inspired truth of Scripture. Working from that foundation of biblical truth, Craig embarks upon an interdisciplinary survey of scientific evidence to determine where Adam could be most plausibly located in the evolutionary history of humankind, ultimately determining that Adam lived between 750,000 and 1,000,000 years ago as a member of the archaic human species Homo heidelbergensis. He concludes by reflecting theologically on his findings and asking what all this might mean for us as human beings created in the image of God, literally descended from a common ancestor — albeit one who lived in the remote past.  "This is a book for those who want to pursue the truth." — C. JOHN COLLINS  professor of Old Testament at Covenant Theological Seminary "The scientific content in this book will be surprising to many, but it is sound, even as it gives a much-needed pushback on overreach by evolutionary creationists....His telling of the science makes space for many ways of understanding everything together, so the conversation should not end there...Craig shows us not only that constructive dialogue between theology and science is possible, but also that theological questions can sharpen our understanding of science." — S. JOSHUA SWAMIDASS associate professor of laboratory and genomic medicine at Washington University in St. Louis "Those who seek to contribute to this discussion going forward must pay careful attention to what this highly accomplished scholar has set forth." — RICHARD E. AVERBECK professor of Old Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School ORDER ON AMAZON We'd love to hear from you! Email us at info@reasonablefaith.org
