Science & Faith

“Like David on a plain filled with Goliaths, Greg Benoit takes on the fraternity of evangelical commentators on Genesis. Benoit is neither a scientist nor a Semitic scholar, but he has been well educated in literature, and he understands the literary genre of Genesis 1-3. In order to accommodate Darwinism, he charges, the commentators have concocted an ever-changing series of theories to explain why Genesis 1-3 does not mean what it says. The implications for the orthodox belief in the truthfulness of Genesis, the historicity of Adam and Eve, the reality of original and imputed sin, and the necessity of the atoning work of the Last Adam are devastating. This book is original, provocative, caustic, entertaining, irritating, and guaranteed to have bloggers and reviewers howling with delight, derision, or damnation (of the author, that is).”
