Abstract
In pursuing the worthy goal of convincing fellow believers that creationism and evolution are compatible and complementary and should be embraced by the thoughtful evangelical, Towne has proceeded from some debatable premises. She begins by espousing a discredited view of Old Testament (OT) Genesis (the JEDP Hypothesis); then enjoining a liberal view of Genesis 1-11 (calling it myth/legend and asserting its substantial dependence upon Mesopotamian epics); controverting the evangelical doctrine of biblical inerrancy; and concluding by introducing a culturally circumscribed Paul and a culturally limited Bible.
