The Heresy of Ham, Revised Edition

What Every Evangelical Needs to Know about Young Earth Creationism, the Creation-Evolution Controversy . . . and What We All Can Learn about Rigid Ideology and "Fighting the Culture War"

Joel Edmund Anderson,

About this book

One of the most controversial issues in our society today, especially within Evangelicalism, is that of the creation/evolution debate. Over the past few decades, Fundamentalist apologists like Ken Ham, of the young earth creationist organization Answers in Genesis, have made a career convincing people that the age of the Earth and the historicity of Genesis 1-11 are not just bedrock, fundamental tenets of the Christian faith, but are also crucial fronts in the "culture war." In The Heresy of Ham Joel Edmund Anderson convincingly shows that not only are the YECist claims of Ken Ham unbiblical and unscientific, but they have sowed the seeds of strife and division within countless Christian communities. He should know--he lost his job as a biblical worldview teacher at a small Evangelical school over the issue of YECism. Anderson's ultimate message is simple: regardless of your position regarding evolution or the interpretation of Genesis 1-11, they are not fundamental to the Christian faith and should not be used as battlefronts in the culture war. If you have always had questions about the creation/evolution debate, the claims of YECism, and the way Genesis 1-11 should be interpreted, The Heresy of Ham is a tremendous resource for anyone struggling coming to grips with these issues.
