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
