We now come to Part 3 of my book analysis series on William Lane Craig’s book, In Quest for the Historical Adam. In this post, I will cover Chapters 5-7. Let’s do this… Chapter 5: Is Genesis 1-11 Mytho-History?Here in Chapter 5 is where WLC introduces the concept of Genesis 1-11 being “mytho-history.” Up to…
In this second post on WLC’s recent book, In Quest for the Historical Adam, I’m going to walk us through chapters 3-5. So, without any opening witty banter, let’s just jump right into these chapters! Chapter 3: Are the Primaeval Narratives of Genesis 1-11 Myth? (Part 1)Chapters 3-4 both focus on addressing the question, “Are…
Earlier this fall, William Lane Craig came out with his book, In Quest for the Historical Adam: A Biblical and Scientific Exploration, (priced at a very (un)reasonable $38.00!).

Last week, Jason Lisle put out his third installment in which he offers his critique of William Lane Craig’s new book, The Quest for the Historical Adam. Lisle’s post is entitled, “The Historical Adam: A Worldview Based on Fact or Fiction,” and the title alone is quite telling, for as I’ve noted in the earlier…
This post is going to be a slight departure from what I normally write about…and I’m giving myself no more than one hour to do it.
