Representaion In Pursuance Of Books The Lost World of Adam and Eve: Genesis 2–3 and the Human Origins Debate (The Lost World Series #1)

For centuries the story of Adam and Eve has resonated richly through the corridors of art, literature and theology. 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. How 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? Following his groundbreaking The Lost World of Genesis One, 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 NT Wright places Adam in the implied narrative of Paul’s theology. The Lost World of Adam and Eve 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.

Walton argues for historical Adam and Eve, but not necessarily them as the original first humans. He suggests that Genesis 1 teaches a mass creation of humans, of which Adam was representative priest. His federal theology is weakened and the understanding of sin suffers at the hands of this view. A lot of weight is put on ANE literature. Hence his leading theme is that these accounts are designed as functionaldescriptions of the purpose of creation, rather than an explanation of the origins of

Walton continues his reevaluation of 20+ typical assumptions about Genesis 1 (and this volume mostly) Gen. 2-3, and at the very least presents plausible arguments that the text does not necessarily conflict with science nor does it have to be read as even having that in view. A number of his perspectives are closely akin to NT Wright's theology. Presented in short popular level reading chapters. A CT book of the year winner for good reasons. My only caveat is to read also those (such as Dick

If we cant think beyond ourselves and accept the fact that a vital Christian faith need not have exactly the same interpretive profile that we believe, we might see that the church is bigger than any of us. Certainly there are beliefs (or, more often, unbeliefs) that place one outside this big tent we call the church. But there is room for a variety of beliefs as long as they derive from sound exegesis, sound theology and sound hermeneutics. We have tried to demonstrate that Genesis 1 is

Summary: Building on his earlier The Lost World of Genesis One, Walton contends that Adam and Eve are both archetypes of humanity and also historical figures, though not necessarily our biological progenitors, that their disobedience brought disorder into the sacred space of the creation affecting all people, and that Christs work has to do with restoring that order.Genesis 1-3 are both foundational texts for Christian belief, and heavily contended texts because of the apparent conflict between

Excellent introductory work to the ANE context of Genesis. A few weak points, but overall fantastic. I would recommend reading Heisers Unseen Realm as a primer to the concepts explored here. This book mostly cannibalizes Lost World of Genesis One, so, get this one instead of both.4.2 / 5.0

The origins of the cosmos, and more particularly, humankind, has been at the forefront of the Evangelical sphere for decades. In the past it was one of the distinguishing marks, out of several, that defined a person or institution as Evangelical in distinction from mainline Christian denominations. But that differentiating feature is being steadily challenged from within the Evangelical ranks. One of those contesting voices is John H. Walton, Ph.D., professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College

I wish I could give it 4,5 stars. Actually, the rating system is too simple for such a book.This is an important book, even if one disagrees with it profoundly. Every Christian concerned about the debate on human origins, and every non-Christian wondering at all the fuss about it, should give it a chance. In a way, it is a continuation of the same authors _The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate_. It shares that books deep concern about proper exegesis of ancient
