Zondervan has a series of books called "Counterpoints." The series deals with issues of interest to those who identify themselves as Christians. The books are in a debate-style format, in which advocates of particular positions on a topic state their cases, those who are opposed to the positions make responses, and finally the initial writer gets to give a rejoinder. A well-known and well-respected Biblical scholar, Stephen N. Gundry, is the series editor.

I haven't seen this particular volume before. That may be because it was published fairly recently (last November); however, it may be because it hasn't been on sale prior to now (I didn't check ereaderiq.co)--I basically ignore any book that isn't marked down from its usual price.

The book is Four Views on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design. The contributors, who hold four different views (and/or perhaps combinations of views) on the subject, are Ken Ham, Hugh Ross, Deborah B. Haarsma, and Stephen C. Meyer. This volume, and perhaps more, have J.B. Stump as the general editor.

This ebook is currently only $3.99. Ereaderiq.com states (I ended up deciding to check ereaderiq.com, after all) that the retail price is $9.99 (which seems unusually low to me), and that it has not been on sale since its publication.

The present volume is 235 pages long. It is rated 4.7 stars at Amazon, from 12 reviews. The raters at GoodReads give it an average score of 4.18 (that's excellent for them), from 48 reviews.

Here is the description, from Amazon:
Four Views on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design presents the current "state of the conversation" about origins among evangelicals representing four key positions:

Young Earth Creationism - Ken Ham (Answers in Genesis)
Old Earth (Progressive) Creationism - Hugh Ross (Reasons to Believe)
Evolutionary Creation - Deborah B. Haarsma (BioLogos)
Intelligent Design - Stephen C. Meyer (The Discovery Institute)
The contributors offer their best defense of their position addressing questions such as: What is your position on origins - understood broadly to include the physical universe, life, and human beings in particular? What do you take to be the most persuasive arguments in defense of your position? How do you demarcate and correlate evidence about origins from current science and from divine revelation? What hinges on answering these questions correctly?

Here is the book's webpage at Amazon. I noticed that the ebook is on sale for $3.99 at Christianbook (ePub, DRM Protected) also.
