{"product_id":"defending-sin-hans-madueme-9780801098000","title":"Defending Sin: A Response to the Challenges of Evolution and the Natural Sciences","description":"The conflict between the natural sciences and Christian theology has been going on for centuries. Recent advances in the fields of evolutionary biology, behavioral genetics, and neuroscience have intensified this conflict, particularly in relation to origins, the fall, and sin. These debates are crucial to our understanding of human sinfulness and necessarily involve the doctrine of salvation. Theistic evolutionists have labored hard to resolve these tensions between science and faith, but Hans Madueme argues that the majority of their proposals do injustice both to biblical teaching and to long-standing doctrines held by the mainstream Christian tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this major contribution to the field of science and religion, Madueme demonstrates that the classical notion of sin reflected in Scripture, the creeds, and tradition offers the most compelling and theologically coherent account of the human condition. He answers pressing challenges from the physical sciences on both methodological and substantive levels. Scholars, pastors, students, and interested lay readers will profit from interacting with the arguments presented here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans Madueme\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801098009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801098000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baker Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Hans Madueme","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44809731834111,"sku":"9780801098000","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee65fde9-0b05-4f45-8b41-51f569278402.jpg?v=1707927323","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/defending-sin-hans-madueme-9780801098000","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
