Thoughtful book on the purpose of the Creation accounts
Format: Paperback
This book provides a very good introduction into how the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) was most likely formed. It takes very seriously the environment that may have shaped the Pentateuch. It also provides a good primer into how Paul read the Hebrew Bible: through the lens of the death and resurrection of Jesus. If the reader of the Bible understands the purpose behind the creation narratives then there appears to be less conflict with scientific explanations for the origins of the universe and even humanity. I was expecting this book to do something that Enns never claims he was setting out to do, that is give an alternative understanding of the origins of sin and death while taking Paul's account in Romans 5 seriously. Enns claims that Paul interpreted the Adam story in a way that he interpreted other accounts of the Hebrew Bible, through a Christological lens but with little regard to historical context. To Enns, Paul was a man of his time and just because Paul, a man uninformed by scientific explanations of the universe, understood Adam as a historical person doesn't mean those of us who are informed need to see it the same way. Enns values Paul's Christocentric lens on the Hebrew Bible, but comes just short of calling Paul wrong on his understanding of the origin of sin and death. If you are working through the issue of integration/synthesizing scientific thoughts on the origins of the universe and humanity (as well as trying to come to grips with the purpose of the Creation accounts in Genesis) this book will serve you well. If you are expecting Enns to provide that integration/synthesis for you, you will be disappointed.

Enns' view of Adam will eventually dominate in the Evangelical academy
Format: Paperback
For years and years on end, I have been fascinated with trying to make Adam and Eve line up with evolution. I took a bunch of positions that I knew were ad-hoc but I didn't know what else to do at the time. One thing I couldn't figure out was why Genesis 1-3 seemed to be completely symbolic, yet Paul seemed to interpret it so literally. I read through Genesis 1-3 again and again and again. I picked up commentary after commentary. But the commentaries I read (other than Claus Westermann's-which is fantastic)seemed to make arbitrary jumps between interpreting the Adam story literally and symbolically. The attempts to literally interpret the story seemed to stem from a desire to stay faithful to Paul's reading of the story rather than from a desire to be faithful to the Genesis text. But shouldn't how Paul interprets the story be the final word on Adam for Christians? This is what The Evolution of Adam deals with. Paul's interpretation of the story in Romans and 1 Corinthians seemed to be a strange re-reading of the story...one that is overly literal. A talking snake? God walking in the garden? Every good Christian knows God doesn't have a body. So why in the world did Paul read this story so literally? It's this that Enns tries to answer. He shows us that Paul didn't intend to give us a historical critical exegesis of Genesis. Maybe Paul thought Adam was a literal person, maybe he didn't. This is beside the point. Enns shows that Paul was doing some pastoral reshaping of the Adam story along the lines of 2nd Temple Judaism to highlight the significance of Christ's death and resurrection. According to Enns' the "authorial intent" of Genesis 2 and 3 was of very little significance to Paul. Even if Paul knew (and there's good reason to believe he did) that Genesis doesn't indicate that Adam's sin has a universal effect on all humanity, he probably would have used the Adam story in the exact same way. Why? Because it was the best way to explain how Christ put Jews and Gentiles on an "equal footing." For Paul, Christ came first. Anything that could help explain the significance of Christ, even if that meant reshaping OT testament passages from their original "authorial intent," was fair game for Paul. And as Enns shows, it was also fair game for Paul's contemporaries. As Christians, we know we are sinners because we have a savior, not because Adam sinned. In the words of world-renowned Patristics professor and Eastern Orthodox scholar, John Behr, "We should not begin with a claim to know ourselves as sinful and then find a savior who corresponds to what we think our problems are...Christ provides the diagnosis of our condition and simultaneously provides the remedy." Enns' suggestions for the evolution debate are controversial among evangelicals, although they seem to be accepted by many Eastern Orthodox and Catholic academics today. Evangelicalism is a bit behind. Enns' book will provide for much discussion and will inflame reformed Evangenical fundamentalists like Albert Mohler. But his suggestions will ultimately be accepted by the majority of evangelical theologians in the next 100 or so years. I'm fairly sure of this. Although I'm Eastern Orthodox, Peter Enns' book is thoroughly orthodox, excellently argued, pastorally sensitive and ultimately game-changing for the Evangelical world. And although it seems many Orthodox are already talking Enns' game, to my knowledge, no one has written a book on the subject that actually tackles all the sticky exegetical issues. So Enns' book transcends the Protestant/Catholic/Orthodox divide. One thing Enns did leave out is what to do with the genealogies in scripture that mention Adam. If you are interested in a discussion of these, check out Daniel Harlow's article online entitled "After Adam: Reading Genesis in an Age of Evolutionary Science."

Opened My Eyes to a New View
Format: Kindle
Excellent book. Entirely changed the way that I have looked at the origins debate. I have been a lifelong literal creationist for most of my Christian life. But, in recent years I have begun to question this view and look a bit closer at how evolution could in fact be reconciled with the creation story. And, this book has most certainly helped with this journey. "The Evolution of Adam" is broken up into two major parts with each part broken up into several more detailed subsets: 1) Genesis: An Ancient Story of Israelite Self-definition; 2) Understanding Paul's Adam. It is from these two parts where Enns believes he can establish an understanding about the Genesis story, Adam, and where evolution could fit into the story. Using textual criticism, Enns makes numerous conclusions based on both biblical and extra-biblical resources. Here are just a few that I have observed: 1) The Genesis account is NOT a book about origins, but a wisdom book about Israel's identity as a chosen people. Never did the Jewish people claim or believe Genesis was about the origins of the world and humanity. 2) Enns also surmises that Genesis was likely written post-exilic by the prophet Ezra at a time when Israel had lost its identity in Babylonian captivity and were seeking a renewed national identity that had been lost. 3) The Genesis creation story closely resembles numerous other creation stories of Israel's neighboring cultures (i.e. Atrahasis, Enuma Elish, Gilgamesh). 4) That Adam was a proto-type of Israel (i.e. loved by God, disobeys Gods command, and suffers the consequences, exiled from the garden/Babylon). 5) That Paul's Adam was explained in the context of 1st century Judaism and was using Adam as a mere metaphor and example of spiritual death for both Jews and gentile alike. 6) Adam could have possibly been the first homo-sapien that became aware of his spiritual nature, but hominids could have existed prior to Adam. 7) Nowhere in the Old Testament and Jewish history was Adam known to be the conduit for which sin became an inherited nature passed on to all of mankind. Where I think this book is lacking is where evolution comes into play. Enns spends most of his time breaking down and dissecting the creation story, but spends very little time building up the evolution process and how it fits in. Nevertheless, we cannot dismiss the science of evolution at the expense of taking the creation/Adam account literally. There is wiggle room in these two ideologies to allow for both God's divine creation and scientific evolution. Great book. Must be read with an open mind. If you hold firmly to creationism and believe it to be the ONLY way, then this book is likely not for you. But, if you are open to the possibility that Genesis is not a scientific book about human origins, then you may find this to be quite good. Enns speaks in such a way that this book is not too academic and easy enough for the average layman to understand. it is highly recommended.

Very insightful
Format: Paperback
I am a materialistic atheist and I liked this book a lot. Perhaps that is why Peter Enns lost his teaching position! I certainly would not agree with Enns on his religious views but I found his scholarship & willingness to stray from closed-minded literalism refreshing. I learned quite a bit about Paul and his modus operandi in dealing with OT passages. I was presented a way of thinking about Genesis that transcended "it's just a metaphor" or "its just an ancient myth". Basically, my take home messages were 1) the Bible was compiled in its final form during exilic/post-exilic times though it contains some much older material 2) the OT was written as a means of self-definition & self-explanation for the Jewish people after the trauma of exile 3) the Bible is "incarnational", meaning both divine & human (those who demand it be free of its chronological & cultural milieu are being unreasonable) 4) God can "inspire" by stooping to our level & it's unwise to tell God what he can & can't do in terms of revelation 5) the Bible has no intent to be scientific and historical in early Genesis 6) Paul is a bigger obstacle to accepting evolution to many Christians than Genesis 7) by tying Adam & Eve to original sin & origin of death, Paul re-shapes/reinterprets the story in a way that seems foreign to OT writers 8) rejecting evolution means rejecting Pauline theology for many and 9) Paul, who also re-writes OT meaning in Abraham (faith vrs law; "seed(s)", uses Adam to put Jew and gentile on equal footing in needing grace/Christ's sacrifice/obedience for salvation. Christ, as second Adam, undoes damage of first Adam for ALL (Jew & gentile) willing to accept the gift of grace. Paul uses midrash/pesher arguments for his Christological interpretations with "creative engagement" of OT texts. Again, while Enns and I probably have very little common ground for agreement, I appreciated the book & was struck by this passage at the end: "...the light of science does not shine with equal brightness in every corner. There is mystery. There is transcendence. By faith I believe that the Christian story has deep access to a reality that materialism cannot provide and cannot be expected to know. That is a confession of faith, I readily admit, but when it comes to accessing ultimate reality, we are all in the same boat, materialistic atheists included: at some point we must trust in something or someone beyond logic and evidence, even if it is to declare that there is nothing beyond what we see." While I wouldn't agree totally with that statement, it strikes me as very honest, sincere & open-minded. Good book whether you agree or disagree with it.

For those that really Want to know!
Format: Paperback
I chose this rating because of the excellence of content. This author has chosen to give us, those who are truly seeking answers to difficult questions, the possibilities in finding closure or agreement with the very difficult task of merging Science, and all it entails, with our faith. I always feel pulled both ways with ther being no logical way to blend the two, I then felt I must have to give up one for the other but could not do so. This book has helped me begin the journey of understanding what I've always known to be true but could not put together. They do work. There are logical explanations for the seeming opposites of scripture and science. It's a Very important read. For years I have wished C.S. Lewis was still alive. He i have turned to for so many things. But with so many advances since his death, I have needed new thoughts as like minded as he . There are more Lewises out there!!
