Modern theologians questioning interpretations of Genesis and inerrancy

Some modern theologians are beginning to question the traditional interpretation of Genesis and the doctrine of inerrancy, suggesting that certain aspects might be more symbolic or literary than traditionally believed. This perspective challenges the idea of a historical Adam and Eve, proposing a more metaphorical understanding. However, historical views within the church have consistently upheld a belief in a literal Adam and Eve as the ancestors of all humanity.
