PEARCE, E.K. VICTOR

Who Was Adam ?

London, The Paternoster Press. 1969, First Edition. (ISBN: 0853641056). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Very Good+ clean, tight and unmarked copy with dustjacket which has a little wear to top edge and is not price clipped. The book deals with the exciting discoveries of recent years in the fields of anthropology and biology which serve to underline the validity of the biblical account of Adam of Eden and his 'garden'. Victor Pearce finds in the early chapters of Genesis a 'cultural zone fossil' which exactly reflects what has long intrigued anthropologists - the 'New Stone Age Revolution' in farming and horticulture. The sudden appearance of this new mode of life in the New Stone Age exactly fits the appearance of Adam with his divinely imparted knowledge. The author then proceeds to discuss the recent discoveries of the unity and continuity of all life and its link with the revelation in the New Testament R1. Very Good/Very Good.
