Many churches, practically all the main-line denominations, believe that God created the world by means of evolution. These “theistic evolutionists” see no contradiction between the Bible and evolutionary theory. But is this view correct? Is it really possible to reconcile evolution and Christianity?

This book thoroughly examines this controversial topic. The teachings of evolution and the historic essential doctrines of the Church are compared and analyzed for compatibility. The authority of Scripture and conflicts between Biblical statements and evolution are carefully considered. Methods of interpretation and the doctrines of errancy versus inerrancy are thoroughly discussed. A panoramic review of the church’s historic stance on Biblical authority and interpretation is exhaustively chronicled.
