Sheila's question about death before the fall, as I've said often here and
elsewhere, is IMO the *central* theological question concerning origins. (I
mean by this that theodicy in general, including the traditional way of
phrasing it in terms of the fall, is the central question. Others may of
course see this differently.)
The question as she put it, simply won't go away. I note its presence in
just her way of stating it, on the current program of the European Creation
Sociey meeting:

I've written some historical things about this question in an essay about
to come out in a book from Eerdmans, Perspectives on an Evolving Creation,
edited by our own Keith Miller (many thanks for the tireless effort,
Keith).
Some other essays also deal partly with that question, and other related
questions. For details on the book, go here:
