Offsite Review: The Evolution of Adam: What The Bible Does and Doesn’t Say About Human Origins

The Evolution of AdamThe Christian understanding of creation, original sin and our first parents is very controversial.  Peter Enns has been at the center of the controversy for the past couple of years.  Brian LePort has a short review of Enn’s recent book The Evolution of Adam.  But he also links to a long series of posts that LePort has written about the historicity of Adam.  If you are interested in this subject this is a good place to start.
