Theology of an Evolutionist

The Theology of an Evolutionist is a book written by Lyman Abbott, an American Congregationalist theologian and editor. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between science and religion, specifically focusing on the theory of evolution. Abbott argues that the theory of evolution does not necessarily contradict religious beliefs, but rather provides a new perspective on the creation story. He explores the idea that God's plan for creation may have included evolution as a means of bringing about the diversity of life on earth. Abbott also discusses the implications of evolution for the traditional Christian beliefs in the fall of man and original sin. The book offers a thoughtful and nuanced approach to the intersection of science and religion, and is considered a landmark work in the field of theology.1897.
