***The subject of the historicity of Adam is much debated in the church today. The CDM staff made the decision to include this work as an example of what is being taught by some professors in evangelical schools (John Walton is on the faculty of Wheaton College). CDM staff members believe the views expressed in this book are not in accord with the Westminster Standards, yet these views are being discussed/debated by pastors in the PCA. If you are interested in studying this topic fully, please also consider the other books offered in the PCA Bookstore that would refute this author.***

*************************************************************************

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?

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.

John H. Walton (PhD, Hebrew Union College) is professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College and Graduate School. Previously he was professor of Old Testament at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago for twenty years.
