In Quest Of The Historical Adam by William Craig
A Biblical and Scientific Exploration
Combining biblical exegesis, ancient Near Eastern studies, philosophy, and the natural sciences, this study assesses whether humanity descends from a historical first couple. It argues that Genesis 1–11 functions as a form of mytho-history—blending figurative elements with real events—and maintains that later biblical theology, especially Paul’s letters, presupposes an actual progenitor of humankind. Engaging paleoanthropology and population genetics, it defends the plausibility of an ancestral pair within the evolutionary record, tentatively situating them among Middle Pleistocene hominins, and proposes a model that reconciles human origins, original sin, and contemporary science.
