title = "”All the More Reason to Exercise Caution while Discussing Genesis”: Gerrit Berkouwer on Scripture and Science",
abstract = "In this chapter, I analyse Dutch 20th century VU-theologian G.C. Berkouwer{\textquoteright}s cautious navigating of the questions of human origin in the context of the interpretation of the first chapters of Genesis on the one hand and the growing evidence for neo-Darwinian evolution on the other. Berkouwer's attitude was typical for the way in which Dutch neo-Calvinism in his days started to abandon its fierce opposition towards crucial parts of mainstream science and gradually adopted a more constructive, accommodating posture.",
