Epicycles and Phlogiston: Fanciful Flights from the Historical Adam and Jesus

There seems to be a debate brewing over a Historical Adam. Christianity Today has a review of the debate as well: Epicycles and Phlogiston: Fanciful Flights from the Historical Adam and Jesus – The Gospel Coalition Blog:

Which brings us to theological liberalism, which hates talk of the historical Adam. Just when they think they’ve evaporated him in the “myths” of Genesis, he crops up in New Testament texts as a real man. There he is in Romans 5, as in “by one man sin entered into the world” and as in “death reigned from Adam to Moses.” Then he appears in 1 Corinthians 15: “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive”; and again, “The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.” Not to mention the genealogy in Luke 3 and the talk of Eve’s and his problems in 1 Timothy 2. It’s enough to make a Tübingen adept long for Martian loops.
