Summary:

A science student before studying religion, Lioy (Southwestern College, Kansas) challenges the anti-evolution stance of his fellow evangelical Christians by trying to discern the theological meaning and message of a representative set of biblical creation texts. He uses a text-centered, inner-canonical, and integrative hermeneutic to examine an evolutionary creationist process for the origin of humanity, the pre-scientific cosmology found in the Old and New Testaments, a biblical and theological analysis of life and death in the Old and New Testaments, and progressive covenantalism as an integrative motif of scripture.
