The Lost World of Adam and Eve

Book • 2023
In 'The Lost World of Adam and Eve,' John H. Walton delves into the ancient Near Eastern context of Genesis 2–3 to create a space for a faithful reading of Scripture that aligns with modern scientific discoveries.

Walton argues that the creation accounts in Genesis are more about establishing functions rather than material creation.

He discusses the historical and archetypal roles of Adam and Jesus, emphasizing Adam's priestly role and the cosmic implications of the fall.

The book also includes an illuminating excursus by N. T. Wright on Paul's use of Adam in his theology, highlighting the resolution of disorder through Jesus's priestly work on the cross.
