How have evangelicals interpreted the Bible in the light of science in the last 300 years?
We now come to chapter 3;
Evangelicals, the Bible and Science
so open up;
This chapter considers that question and shows how some insisted on taking everything literally and others following Calvin and Augustine did not see the bible as a scientific tome but accommodated to the date of its writing.
The story is a bit of a mixed bag and partially carries on the divisions within the Reformation churches.
Major themes are biblical authority, inerrancy, accommodation, early Genesis and a flat earth.
