A Brief Book Notice from Books At a Glance
by Fred G. Zaspel
We’ve seen countless books interacting with the theory of evolution from a Christian standpoint, but Hans Madueme examines the question from an uncommon yet massively important angle: How does evolution account for human sinfulness? What is lost of Christian theology if evolution is accepted as a true account of human origins?
In this major contribution to the field of science and Christian theology, Madueme demonstrates that Scripture’s historic doctrine of sin offers the most compelling and theologically coherent account of the human condition.
In the end, Madueme provides the reader with both a marvelously insightful critique of theistic evolution and a robust account of humanity as it is in its present state. An important contribution to both fields of study.
Highly recommended.
