As a part of the Counterpoints series, Four Views on the Historical Adam clearly outlines four primary views on Adam held by evangelicals, featuring top-notch proponents of each view presenting their positions in their own words and critiquing the positions with which they disagree. You will come away with a better understanding of the key biblical and theological issues at stake and of the implications of Adam for contemporary Christian witness and church life.   Contributors include Denis O. Lamoureux, John H. Walton, C. John Collins, and William Barrick. Each focuses his essay on answering the following questions:   What is the biblical case for your viewpoint, and how do you reconcile it both with modern science and with passages and potential interpretations that seem to counter it? In what ways is your view more theologically consistent and coherent than other views? What are the implications of your view for the spiritual life and public witness of the church and individual believers, and how is your view a healthier alternative for both?   Concluding reflections by pastor-scholars Gregory A. Boyd and Philip Graham Ryken highlight the significance of the topic in the faith of everyday believers.… (más)

The Counterpoints Series, of which this is a volume, is designed to present several common viewpoints on an issue, rebuttal from representatives of the other viewpoints, then a pastoral reflection from different perspectives. I liken this series to the Bedford Critical Editions for literature in that they too present different schools of thought using a common work as a focal point.

This volume deals with the question of Adam's historicity. The presentations are quite good (I'm not saying they are necessarily successful at convincing anyone, just that they do a good job of explaining what their view is and why) without requiring a significant theological background. I don't think that my personal view is important for this review but I will say that, while my opinion was not changed, I gained a substantially better understanding of each view.

The pastoral reflections at the end were quite interesting. Where the presentations of each viewpoint were designed to be explanatory the reflections were a bit more application-based (for lack of a better term) in that they address what it means for there to have been or not have been an actual Adam.

I think this would be an excellent introduction to this particular debate for anyone interested. There are footnotes throughout to aid in further research and the format will allow both casual and serious students to refer easily to the volume in the future.
