Mike Heiser, Paul Metzger and Greg Cootsona Respond

Each year, The American Academic of Religion (AAR) and the Society for Biblical Literature (SBL) hold perhaps the largest annual meeting on religion. This a meeting with people of all faiths and theological committments. In 2020, they held a session discussing The Genealogical Adam and Eve.

This last few weeks we’ve published several papers from this session. In the coming weeks, Ken Miller’s article and rejoinders to the ETS and AAR critics will be published too.
