Download or read book In Quest of the Historical Adam written by William Lane Craig and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was Adam a real historical person? And if so, who was he and when did he live? William Lane Craig sets out to answer these questions through a biblical and scientific investigation. He begins with an inquiry into the genre of Genesis 1–11, determining that it can most plausibly be classified as mytho-history—a narrative with both literary and historical value. He then moves into the New Testament, where he examines references to Adam in the words of Jesus and the writings of Paul, ultimately concluding that the entire Bible considers Adam the historical progenitor of the human race—a position that must therefore be accepted as a premise for Christians who take seriously the inspired truth of Scripture. Working from that foundation of biblical truth, Craig embarks upon an interdisciplinary survey of scientific evidence to determine where Adam could be most plausibly located in the evolutionary history of humankind, ultimately determining that Adam lived between 750,000 and 1,000,000 years ago as a member of the archaic human species Homo heidelbergensis. He concludes by reflecting theologically on his findings and asking what all this might mean for us as human beings created in the image of God, literally descended from a common ancestor—albeit one who lived in the remote past.

Download or read book The Collected Writings of Murray Stein Volume 5 written by Murray Stein and published by Chiron Publications. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Murray Stein’s prolific career has produced a substantial body of writings, lectures, and interviews. His writings, captured in these volumes, span a wide domain of topics including Christianity, individuation, midlife, the practice of analytical psychology, and topics in contemporary society. His deep understanding of analytical psychology is much more than an academic discourse, but rather a deeply personal study of Jung that spans nearly half a century. Analytical Psychology and Christianity is the fifth volume of the Collected Writings of Murray Stein and explores Jung's personal relationship to his own religious tradition, namely Christianity. Jung wrestled intensely with Christian rituals, theology, and personal practice. These topics preoccupied Jung for much of his life. In this volume, Murray Stein illuminates Jung’s relationship with Christianity and how he strove to restore its transcendent symbols. Jung and Stein offer guidance for Christianity to flourish into the 21st Century and beyond.
