<< Dear Jim:
I'm responding to your initial request for "journals of an evangelical bent
that often address evolution/origin issues." I was surprised that no one
nominated the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) publication, Origins. It is
published semi-annually by the Geoscience Research Institute, Loma Linda
University, Loma Linda, California 92350, affiliated with Andrews University,
Berrien Springs, Michigan. Subscription rate is $8:00 per year. It is in
about its 25th year.
It may be that you or others on the list do not consider an SDA journal
within the evangelical fold. I have read Origins for nearly 25 years. Among
publications favoring a young-earth perspective I have found it consistently
to be the most open-minded and thoughtful. Historian Ronald Numbers, author
of The Creationists, is a former SDA member whose research on Ellen White's
writings led to turmoil within the denomination. It was Ron who explained to
me that a six-day creation is of special theological importance to SDA
scientists, yet the journal is written and edited with great civility.

I agree. This SDA journal is as scholarly as YEC can be and should not be
neglected in such a list.
