Book

Searching for Adam : Genesis & the truth about man's origin / Mortenson, Terry, Ph.D., editor.

Summary:

Though there are a growing number of books out on Adam, this one is unique with its multi-author combination of biblical, historical, theological, scientific, archaeological, and ethical arguments in support of believing in a literal Adam and the Fall. A growing number of professing evangelical leaders and scholars are doubting or denying a literal Adam and a literal Fall, which thereby undermines the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Last Adam, who came to undo the damaging consequences of Adam's sin and restore us to a right relationship with our Creator. This book will increase your confidence in the truth of Genesis 1--11 and the gospel!--Publisher
