Pulling Down Strongholds: A Critique of Theistic Evolution

A Critique of Theistic Evolution by authors Eric Parker & Todd Hamilton, PhD

Believers are regularly confronted with those who pit science and faith in opposition. There is a scientism zeitgeist that, if not wholeheartedly embraced, leads to the active ridicule of God’s people. This pressure has led to significant cracks in the faith of God’s people as they have, by and large, sought to compromise the faith axioms of biblical creation, human exceptionalism, and divine design.

This volume seeks to counteract faith fissures on the key battlefield of evolution, creationism, and theistic evolution. Subjects of discussion include the biblical account of creation, the inexcusability of atheism, intelligent design, theistic evolution as a system, conflicting timelines, differing explanations for variation, differing purposes and destinies, influences on scientific interpretation, opposing worldviews, and becoming a new creation in Jesus Christ. The text is written in a methodically vigorous way, yet simultaneously accommodating the everyday person with little to no scientific expertise, and is valuable for personal, small group, or church study.
