GENESIS ON ITS OWN TERMS

For centuries the story of Adam and Eve has

resonated richly through the corridors of art

literature and theology But for most moderns

and even many thinking Christians taking

Genesis 2ndash3 at face value is incongruous

How can Christians of good faith move

forward Who were the historical Adam and

Eve In what cultural code was this couple this

garden this tree this serpent portrayed

Following his groundbreaking The Lost World of

Genesis One John Walton now backlights this

most elemental story with the ancient world of

the biblical author Walton gives us the context

insights and clarity to reset the discussion and

move forward As a bonus an illuminating

excursus by N T Wright places Adam in the

implied narrative of Paulrsquos theology

Q amp A WITH JOHN WALTON

WHAT SURPRISED YOU MOST AS YOU WERE

RESEARCHING FOR THIS BOOK

I think what surprised me most was

that even far back in church history the

issue was varied and controversial The

interpretation of these texts is far from

monolithic

HOW DID YOU COME TO THE CONCLUSION

THAT ADAM AND EVE WERE BOTH HISTORI-

CAL FIGURES AND ARCHETYPAL FIGURES

I came to the real ization that the biblical

narrator was making statements in

Genesis 2 that pertained to al l of us

not uniquely to Adam and Eve This is

extremely important if we want to read

the text well and make good decisions

about the relationship between the text

and modern science related to human

origins We need to do our best toascertain what the Bible is actual ly

claiming

PRAISE FOR THE LOST WORLD

OF ADAM AND EVE

ldquoJohn Walton is a voice of reason and he has shown

time and time again that we must learn to read the

Bible as God gave it not the way wersquod like it to berdquo

mdashScot McKnight Northern Seminary

ldquoI wish every Christian would read this book John

Walton is helping an entire generation of peoplemdash

believers and skeptics alikemdashlearn how to read Genesis

as it was meant to be read I canrsquot imagine any student

of the Bible not being mesmerized by his scholarshiprdquo

mdashJohn Ortberg senior pastor of Menlo ParkPresbyterian Church author of Soul Keeping

ldquoWalton provides a profoundly evangelical account of

how the Bible speaks of Adam and Eve by treating

the statements of Scripture in their ancient historical

context This book is the first thing to put in the hands

of those wrestling with the perceived tension between

the Bible and sciencerdquo

Q amp A WITH JOHN WALTON

WHAT SURPRISED YOU MOST AS YOU WERE

RESEARCHING FOR THIS BOOK

I think what surprised me most was

that even far back in church history the

issue was varied and controversial The

interpretation of these texts is far from

monolithic

HOW DID YOU COME TO THE CONCLUSION

THAT ADAM AND EVE WERE BOTH HISTORI-

CAL FIGURES AND ARCHETYPAL FIGURES

I came to the real ization that the biblical

narrator was making statements in

Genesis 2 that pertained to al l of us

not uniquely to Adam and Eve This is

extremely important if we want to read

the text well and make good decisions

about the relationship between the text

and modern science related to human

origins We need to do our best toascertain what the Bible is actual ly

claiming

PRAISE FOR THE LOST WORLD

OF ADAM AND EVE

ldquoJohn Walton is a voice of reason and he has shown

time and time again that we must learn to read the

Bible as God gave it not the way wersquod like it to berdquo

mdashScot McKnight Northern Seminary

ldquoI wish every Christian would read this book John

Walton is helping an entire generation of peoplemdash

believers and skeptics alikemdashlearn how to read Genesis

as it was meant to be read I canrsquot imagine any student

of the Bible not being mesmerized by his scholarshiprdquo

mdashJohn Ortberg senior pastor of Menlo ParkPresbyterian Church author of Soul Keeping

ldquoWalton provides a profoundly evangelical account of

how the Bible speaks of Adam and Eve by treating

the statements of Scripture in their ancient historical

context This book is the first thing to put in the hands

of those wrestling with the perceived tension between

the Bible and sciencerdquo
