Description

1985 First edition. Hardcover is in good condition. No dust jacket. Pages are clean and binding is secure.

This compelling volume from the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society delves into one of the most fundamental questions of human existence: the origin of life itself. Published in 1985, at the height of the creation-evolution debates, “Life- How did it get here?” presents the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ perspective on this contentious issue. The Society’s stance, rooted in a literal interpretation of the Bible, firmly rejects the theory of evolution and instead advocates for a creationist worldview.

Beyond its theological arguments, the book offers a fascinating glimpse into the sociocultural climate of the time, when the teaching of evolution in public schools was a hotly contested topic. It serves as a valuable primary source for scholars studying the intersection of religion, science, and education in the late 20th century. Collectors of Jehovah’s Witnesses literature and those interested in the history of creationism will find this first edition a noteworthy addition to their libraries.
