Adam in the New Testament: Mere Teaching Model or First Historical Man? J.P. Versteeg, translated by Richard Gaffin and published by P & R Publishing.
Questions about the creation account and about the theological role of the person Adam are front and center today. Most importantly are questions that ask about the relationship of Adam as a historical person to his theological significance. Does Adam have to be real to be a factor and can theological claims based premised on him be taken seriously if he is not in fact real?
In Adam in the New Testament J.P. Versteeg examines Adam's historical importance to the New Testament writer's while explaining the key issues in the debate and showing how a rejection of the historical Adam has far reaching consequences for Christian faith.
