Guest: Dr. Matthew Barrett | Dr. Arnold interviews Matthew Barrett on the question of whether or not Adam was an actual historical figure. Topics of conversation include: 1) Some of the various evangelical views on creation, 2) Two of the Christian doctrines at stake if we deny that Adam was a historical person, 3) The false dichotomy between science and Scripture: God reveals himself through nature as well as the Bible, 4) Where the historicity of Adam falls in relation to theological triage, and 5) Resources for further study on this subject.
