{"product_id":"book-dxol","title":"The Genealogical Adam and Eve","description":"Evolutionary science teaches that humans arose as a population, sharing common ancestors with other animals. Most readers of the book of Genesis in the past understood all humans descended from Adam and Eve, a couple specially created by God. These two teachings seem contradictory, but is that necessarily so? In the fractured conversation of human origins, can new insight guide us to solid ground in both science and theology?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Genealogical Adam and Eve\u003c\/i\u003e, S. Joshua Swamidass tests a scientific hypothesis: What if the traditional account is somehow true, with the origins of Adam and Eve taking place \u003ci\u003ealongside\u003c\/i\u003e evolution? Building on well-established but overlooked science, Swamidass explains how it's possible for Adam and Eve to be rightly identified as the ancestors of everyone. His analysis opens up new possibilities for understanding Adam and Eve, consistent both with current scientific consensus and with traditional readings of Scripture. These new possibilities open a conversation about what it means to be human.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, Swamidass untangles several misunderstandings about the words \u003ci\u003ehuman\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eancestry\u003c\/i\u003e, in both science and theology; explains how \u003ci\u003egenetic\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003egenealogical\u003c\/i\u003e ancestry are different; and explores implications of \u003ci\u003egenealogical\u003c\/i\u003e ancestry for the theology of the image of God, the fall, and people \"outside the garden.\"","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49367570514224,"sku":"BDdxol","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49367570546992,"sku":"ZEdxol","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49367570579760,"sku":"ZMdxol","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/dxol-Square-cover.jpg?v=1779256520","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-dxol","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
