For those who may be wondering, yes, I will continue my series reviewing C. John Collins’ Did Adam and Eve Really Exist? Who They Were and Why You Should Care and Peter Enns’ The Evolution of Adam: What the Bible Does and Doesn’t Say About Human Origins. I am delaying a bit because (1) I am reading before blogging (novel idea, eh?) and (2) I am about to move from Oregon to Texas in a few days, so it may be difficult to blog on anything for a week or so beginning Friday.
In the meantime, if you haven’t paid attention to the series, but you think you’d like to do so the rest of the way, here are the first twenty (!) posts:
Pt. 5- Enns on Christianity and Science
Pt. 6- Collins on Adam and Christian Worldview
Pt. 7- Collins on the Origins of Evil
Pt. 8- Enns on Interpreting Adam and Eve
Pt. 9- Enns on Modern Scholarship and Hermeneutics
Pt. 10- Enns on Adam and Israel’s Post-Exile Identity
Pt. 11- Collins on Adam in the Book of Genesis
Pt. 12- Collins on Adam in the Hebrew Bible
Pt. 13- Collins on Adam in Jewish Literature
Pt. 14- Collins on Adam in the Gospels
Pt. 15- Collins on Adam in the Pauline Epistles and NT in General
Pt. 16- Enns on Genesis and Other Creation Narratives
Pt. 17- Enns on Genesis and Other Creation Narratives (Cont.)
Pt. 18- Enns on Israel’s Second Creation Story
Pt. 19- Enns on Israel and Primordial Time
Pt. 20- Enns’ Final Thoughts on Adam and Genesis
When I resume I will be writing about Peter Enns’ interpretation of Paul’s Adam.
Have a safe and trouble-free move. I’ll be looking forward to the continuation of the series, now that you’ve gotten to the good part.
Paul
Thank you!
“I do not think that Dumbledore is really dead even given the death scene. You know there will be a way to stay in contact with him beyond echoing voices from the halls of the dead. Now we will start getting into spiritual images of him and a way to overcome death – just you wait and see!”
Ha! Nicely done!
