But for most moderns, taking it at face value is incongruous. And even for many thinking Christians today who want to take seriously the authority of Scripture, insisting on a \"literal\" understanding of Genesis 2-3 looks painfully like a \"tear here\" strip between faith and science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow can Christians of good faith move forward? Who were the historical Adam and Eve? What if we've been reading Genesis--and its claims regarding material origins--wrong? In what cultural context was this couple, this garden, this tree, this serpent portrayed?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing his groundbreaking \u003cem\u003eLost World of Genesis One\u003c\/em\u003e, John Walton explores the ancient Near Eastern context of Genesis 2-3, creating space for a faithful reading of Scripture along with full engagement with science for a new way forward in the human origins debate. As a bonus, an illuminating excursus by N. T. Wright places Adam in the implied narrative of Paul's theology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Lost World of Adam and Eve\u003c\/em\u003e will be required reading for anyone seeking to understand this foundational text historically and theologically, and wondering how to view it alongside contemporary understandings of human origins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe books in the Lost World Series follow the pattern set by Bible scholar John H. Walton, bringing a fresh, close reading of the Hebrew text and knowledge of ancient Near Eastern literature to an accessible discussion of the biblical topic at hand using a series of logic-based propositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 8.25 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 27, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Christianity Today Book Award (2016)\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51992042635565,"sku":"9780830824618","price":25.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/TThCaE8wekRzRm43Q1MxZUV4SXZvdz09.webp?v=1776322094","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/the-lost-world-of-adam-and-eve-genesis-2-3-and-the-human-origins-debate-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
