Kirjan takakannesta:

Was Adam a real historical person? If so, who was he and when did he live?

William Lane Craig combines thorough research and judicious weighing of the arguments to show that the biblical picture of human origins, rightly understood, can match very well with the best results of the sciences – again, rightly understood. He holds all of these disparate disciplines accountable to the requirements of sound reasoning.

Few treatments of the [historicity of Adam and Eve) are able to bring together biblical, theological, philosophical, and scientific perspectives simultaneously. In this volume, Dr. Craig does just that – weaving these threads together in ways that respect orthodox Christian doctrine and incorporate our best current understanding of the origins of our species. All Christian scholars wrestling with this topic will benefit from Craig's deep and learned treatment.

William Lane Craig toimii filosofian professorina (Houston Baptist University, USA) ja vierailevana tutkijana (Talbot School of Theology, USA). Hän on koulutukseltaan sekä filosofian että teologian tohtori. Craig on kirjoittanut kymmeniä kirjoja ja artikkeleita sekä teologian, filosofian että raamatuntutkimuksen alueelta ja osallistunut lukuisiin apologeettisiin väittelyihin. The Best Schools nimitti hänet 50 vaikutusvaltaisimman elossa olevan filosofin joukkoon.

Tämän kirjan rinnakkaislukemistoksi ja vertailukohteeksi soveltuu erinomaisesti Fazale Ranan ja Hugh Rossin teos Who Was Adam? A Creation Model Approach to the Origin of Humanity.
