About Adam, the Fall, and Original Sin: Theological, Biblical, and Scientific PerspectivesThe 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. Including scholars and theologians such as Thomas R. Schreiner and Carl R. Trueman, this fresh look at a heated topic in evangelical circles will appeal to professors, students, and readers interested in the creation-evolution debate. |
