Did Adam and Eve Really Exist? The Evidence of Prophecy Readings from the Ancient Near East
Our Price: $15.99
Our Price: $9.99
Our Price: $24.99
The rise of theistic evolution has led to many Christians questioning the traditional interpretation of Adam and Eve as historical persons. Old Testament scholar, C. John Collins, tackles the questions raised by theologians and scientists alike. He provides a helpful survey of other biblical authors on the existence of the first humans and evangelical alternatives for how to integrate the biblical and scientific data. Robert C. Newman offers a collection of essays in which nine authors discuss prophecies made centuries in advance about Israel, about the countries surrounding Israel, and about the Messiah. These writers emphasize the powerful evidence for the reliability of Scripture and the certainty of our Christian faith that the fulfillment of these predictions provides. They remind us to follow Paul's counsel to the Thessalonians: "Test everything, and hold onto the good." This volume introduces students to English translations of a wide variety of primary source texts from the ancient Near East.
Dictionary of the Ancient Near East Icons of Evolution Creating Life in the Lab
Our Price: $34.95
Our Price: $16.95
Our Price: $17.95
This single-volume encyclopedia offers an introductory summary to a wide range of topics related to the ancient Near East. Jonathan Wells convincingly demonstrates that the evidence and examples of Darwinian evolution commonly found in biology textbooks are either misleading or false. Wells carefully documents his thesis from the work of evolutionary biologists, explaining that the "icons" of evolution are nothing more than scientific myths in most cases. The evolutionary icons addressed by Wells include the Miller-Urey experiment, Archaeopteryx as the missing link connecting birds to reptiles, speciation among Darwin's finches, and others. Icons of Evolution provides a critical tool for parents and students needing to respond to the evolution theories promoted throughout most biology textbooks. Representing the best of RTB's efforts to anticipate scientific breakthroughs and explain their contribution to the case for Christian faith, biochemist Fuz Rana shows how recent advances in synthetic biology actually undermine the evolutionary explanation for the origin of life.
Archaeology and the Old Testament Jericho Unearthed Digging for Truth: Archaeology and the Bible
Our Price: $45.00
Our Price: $7.00
Our Price: $29.95
Alfred Hoerth gives readers an archeologist's-eye view of the Old Testament. While careful not to suggest that archaeology "proves" the Bible, he demonstrates that research findings illustrate and support the veracity of the Scriptures. He covers patriarchal Palestine, Joseph and Moses in Egypt, the reigns of David and Solomon, the divided kingdom, and the exile. Some 250 illustrations enrich the text. For more than fifty years scholars have built a wall of doubt against the historical accuracy of the Bible using Jericho as one of its cornerstones. Did the walls of Jericho really come tumbling down? What does the evidence say? Certain archaeological discoveries have religious, and even political, implications and threaten the delicate balance of power in modern Israel. This History Channel documentary explores the high stakes for those scholars involved in debates about biblical archaeology – Christians, Jews and Muslims alike.

John Currid, professor of archaeology at Reformed Theological Seminary, offers a beginner's guide to archaeology. He defines terms, reviews briefly the history of archaeology in Palestine, and explains archeologists' methods from launching a dig to interpreting the items unearthed.
