Has anyone here read "The Evolution of Adam" by Peter Enns?

I'm about 2 or 3 chapters in and it seems like he sides with critical scholarship a little more than most people would probably be comfortable with. I'm not exactly sure what I think about it, still have quite a way to go.

Does anyone have any thoughts on it or similar works to it?

The evolution of mankind, man and woman, he called them Adam.

Murph-

I haven't read it, but from those I've discussed it with who have, it sounds like a pretty solid, useful, and good book. I have read most of "coming to peace" (which is very good, spot-on, and useful), and Enns' book seems to be similar.

Dana b - Most of what you have posted appears to me to be non-scriptural, contradicted by actual evidence, and not very useful to the discussion. So, sorry, it didn't stike me as helpful.

Well "bridging the worlds between faith and Biology might be something that I'm better at. Consider the following;
