Sample Book Insights:

#1 The question of the historical Adam is a peripheral concern in Christian theology. The doctrine of original sin is not a necessary condition of the doctrine of the atonement, and the gospel proclamation that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures does not require Adam’s sin to be true.

#2 The importance of the historical Adam is only relevant if the doctrine of original sin is important. However, it is unclear that the doctrine of original sin is essential to the Christian faith. The doctrine enjoys slim scriptural support, and it is not clear that it is taught in Romans 5:12–21.

#3 Denying the historicity of Adam and Eve threatens to undo the deity of Christ and thus destroy orthodox Christian faith. #4 The existence of the historical Adam is essential to Christianity, as it is the basis for the doctrine of original sin. But what if the scientific evidence is incompatible with the existence of the historical Adam.
