Defending Sin: Theological Reflections on Theistic Evolution

Hans Madueme, Covenant College

In this talk, Hans Madueme tackles the vexed conflict between the natural sciences and Christian theology. He examines theistic evolution in particular and how this approach affects our understanding of sin, salvation, and the shape of the gospel story. Christian evolutionists have tried to resolve the doctrinal tensions between science and faith, but Madueme contends that the majority of their proposals fall short of the biblical witness and core doctrines of historic Christianity. This talk is a teaser for Madueme’s new book with Baker Academic: Defending Sin: A Response to the Challenge of Evolution and the Natural Sciences.
