Why Blame Adam and Eve? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578147017)

A new look at the Creation story. We do not understand the Genesis account adequately in thinking that the creation of Adam and Eve from dust and a rib is the same as their creation out of nothing. God creates ex nihilo only perfect persons with perfect freedom to respond fully to the gift of being. God also could not permit or even allow any person to be hit with the sin of his parents, including first parents, unless that person (each one of us)is already implicated in evil and said less than a full yes to the gift of unique being out of nothing. The Genesis account tells not about creation out of nothing, but a creation out of something: darkness, chaos, dust, a rib, et al. This book represents a stark revision of Judeo-Christian belief in key matters of origin, while affirming traditional Revelation and teaching as well.
