Adam and Eve ‘Above and Beyond’ Darwin: Dietrich Bonhoeffer as a Model for Faithful Theological Interpretation of the ‘First Human Beings
Edward W. Klink III
Abstract (from the Editorial of BET vol. 5.1)
Joel Willitts, in his essay, offers Dietrich Bonhoeffer as a model for how to think about Adam in a post-Darwinian world. For Willitts, following Bonhoeffer, the question of Adam’s historicity (however important) must not distract us from the theological importance of Adam as presented by Scripture.
