Adam DID THEY LITERALLY EXIST IN THE BEGINNING AND WHY DOES IT MATTER? and Eve 10 the southern baptist theological seminary
y kyle d. claunch The Expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise, Benjamin West, 1791 The doctrine of creatio ex nihilo (creation out of nothing) is indisputably basic to sound Christian theology. This doctrine states that the triune God exists necessarily and eternally, and everything that exists that is not God owes its existence to God. Nevertheless, among those who hold this basic theological commitment, the question of how to interpret the opening chapters of Genesis has been a subject of debate throughout the long history of Christianity. The urgency of the question increased dramatically with the publication of Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species in the mid-19th century. Since that time, some version of macro-evolution has been the consensus explanation for the biological diversity of life on our planet in the scientific academy. Therefore, the issue of the historicity (or not) of the first man and woman named in Scripture— Adam and Eve—has become an increasingly controversial subject. This article will argue that the historical existence of Adam and Eve as the first human beings and the biological progenitors of the entire human race is a matter of great theological consequence for Christians, and that some interpretive strategies are better suited to defend belief in a historical Adam and Eve than others. We’ll begin by demonstrating the theological significance of the historicity of Adam and Eve to show summer 2022 11
