This season at Servants of Grace, we’ve been considering the topics of Adam as a real person in real history and science. We are living in a time when many people are questioning whether Adam is a real person in real history along with a literal reading of Genesis. With this issue of Theology for Life Magazine, it was our hope that readers would grow, not only in their understanding of Genesis and science but also the greater redemptive storyline of Scripture
