Dalla quarta di copertina

"Erudite and theologically sophisticated"

This book offers a striking biblical and theological account of the doctrine of sin in dialogue with difficult questions from the natural sciences, helping readers engage with controversial debates surrounding human origins, the fall, and original sin.

"A brave and bracing argument for prioritizing dogma over Darwin--and for retaining the doctrine of original sin as essential to biblical realism, coherent systematic theology, and the gospel itself."
--Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

"This intelligent and well-researched book encourages Christians to respect scientific findings, while affirming the epistemic primacy of Scripture in our post-Darwinian age. It is a gift to the church."
--Mary Vanden Berg, Calvin Theological Seminary

"This is the most erudite and theologically sophisticated defense of 'young earth creationism' that I have read. Madueme makes a spirited defense of his position even as he admits that the evidence against it appears daunting. The result is a work that is exemplary in its humility and helpful even, or perhaps especially, for someone who (like me) has significant disagreements with the position defended."
--Thomas H. McCall, Asbury Theological Seminary

"This is one of the most detailed, perceptive, and well-researched critiques of theistic evolution I have ever seen. Even though at the end of the day the book's main argument has not convinced me, I profoundly benefited from Madueme's sound scholarship and from the countless pertinent observations he makes along the way."
--Gijsbert van den Brink, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

"Madueme's foundation of 'biblical realism' is a methodological breath of fresh air--we might say piercingly menthol fresh. No doubt it will be arresting to some, but it is vital in defending biblical authority, the health of the evangelical doctrinal ecosystem, and the constructive engagement of science dogmatically rather than evidentially. Highly recommended."
--Daniel Strange, Crosslands Forum
