Three Views on Creation and Evolution (Counterpoints)
Readers appreciate the expanding Counterpoints series because it allows leading voices on a controversial subject to present their different views in a civil and interactive format. This time, the focus is on the creation-evolution controversy--a topic hotly contested within the church as well as without. The book presents the three main evangelical views: young earth creationism, old earth creationism, and theistic evolution. The contributors are all authorities on their respective views. Each essay is followed by responses from a theologian, a biblical studies scholar, a philosopher, and a scientist; and the entire discussion is summarized by Philip Johnson and Richard Bube.
