No Adam, No Gospel
Book •
In 'No Adam, No Gospel,' Richard B. Gaffin Jr. contends that the doctrine of Adam as the historical representative of humanity is foundational to Christian understanding of sin, death, and redemption.
The work connects Adam's role to Pauline theology, arguing that Paul's use of Adam as a theological foil to Christ presupposes Adam's historicity.
Gaffin examines implications for original sin, the fall, and the need for a substitutionary atonement if Adam is not taken as historical.
The booklet is aimed at pastors, students, and theologians concerned with preserving orthodox doctrinal commitments in contemporary debates on human origins.
It is often recommended in conservative evangelical circles as a concise corrective to theistic-evolutionary proposals that deny a historical first human pair.
