John Walton's book, The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate (Downers Grove: InterVarsity Press, 2009) is getting a lot of attention on the web, most notably because he's an evangelical who accepts the mythical status of the creation accounts in Genesis, accounts which were adapted by the Israelites from their neighbors. Here again, rather than abandon one's faith because of this, Christians are reinventing it as they are being forced by the findings of scholarship to change their minds. Christians repeatedly do this in every generation.
