RE: [asa] YEC prior to 1950

RE: Adam-

Thanks for the info Terry- and I'll try to keep the book in mind. For now, I already have too many books in my "to do" pile. If you can share anything interesting from the book, I'd appreciate it. I have Noll's "scandal" book.

Bernie,

I'm not so sure I'd call it "the Roman Catholic idea".

But here are a couple of articles by Davis Young that traces out some
of the history. It's called Scripture in the Hands of Geologists and
was originally published in Westminster Theological Journal.

As for questions about Adam, I found particularly helpful the booking
entitled The Princeton Theology. It is an anthology of essays with
introductions by Mark Noll, an American church historian who was at
Wheaton when he wrote this book (now at Notre Dame, but still
conservative Presbyterian as far as I know).
