The Lost World Of Adam And Eve by John H. Walton
Genesis 2-3 and the Human Origins Debate
This book reads the Genesis creation narratives through the lens of ancient Near Eastern thought, arguing that their purpose is to describe the ordering and function of the world and humanity rather than to provide a scientific or biological account of origins; the figures of Adam and Eve are presented as archetypal, functional representatives who are appointed to roles in God’s ordered world, a reading that reframes theological questions about sin, human identity, and the relationship between Scripture and modern science and opens the possibility of compatibility with evolutionary accounts of biological development.
