Description: This book does not try to harmonize evolution and creation.  Harmonizers typically begin with Darwinism and then try to add just enough religion to make evolution more palatable, or they begin with Genesis and pry open the creation account just wide enough to let in a little bit of evolution.  By contrast, Stephen Webb provides a theory of how evolution and theology fit together, and he argues that this kind of theory is required by the internal demands of both theology and biology.  The Dome of Eden also develops a theological account of evolution that is distinct from the intelligent design movement.  Webb shows how intelligent design properly discerns the inescapable dimension of purpose in nature but, like Darwinism itself, fails to make sense of the problem of  natural evil.  Finally, this book draws on the work of Karl Barth to advance a new reading of the Genesis narrative and the theology of Duns Scotus to provide  the necessary  metaphysical foundation   for evolutionary thought - Publisher info.
