Faith and Fossils: The Bible, Creation, and Evolution

by Lester L. Grabbe

Many books have been written on the Bible and evolution by scientists, but this volume is written by a biblical specialist. In  Faith and Fossils  Lester Grabbe, a prominent Hebrew Bible scholar, examines the Bible in its ancient context and explores its meaning in light of emerging scientific evidence.  Both the Bible and the fossil record raise significant questions about what it means to be human, and Grabbe expertly draws on both sources to grapple with who we are and where we came from. Written in uncomplicated language and featuring eleven spectacular color plates, Grabbe’s  Faith and Fossils creatively shows how science and faith intersect in questions about human origins.

quote from page 110. " The Bible consists of human literature. It was written, copied, translated and transmitted by human beings. This is not a denial of divine inspiration, but it means that the Bible did not fall from heaven in 1611 in hermetically sealed package, printed by the finger of God, complete with red lettering, gold edging, leather covers, and silk marker ribbons." Read the book for the continuation of the quote and other interesting content.
