paperbackInterpreting Old Testament Wisdom Literature
Edited by David G. Firth and Lindsay Wilson
In popular perception, Wisdom literature is a "self-help" or "philosophy" section of the Old Testament library—the odd and interesting bits of canonical mortar between History and Prophets.

paperbackThe Genealogical Adam and Eve
The Surprising Science of Universal Ancestry
by S. Joshua Swamidass
Evolutionary science teaches that humans arose as a population, sharing common ancestors with other animals. Most readers of the book of Genesis in the past understood all humans descended from Adam and Eve, a couple specially created by God. These two teachings seem contradictory, but is that necessarily so? In the fractured conversation of human origins, can new insight guide us to solid ground ...
