Keller does make a sharp distinction - and rightly so - between this belief that human life was formed through evolutional biological processes (EBP), and the so-called "Grand Theory of Evolution" (GTE) that claims that it is the explanation for every aspect of human nature.
He also choses to retain the notion of the Fall as an event in history - which, somehow at least, must be maintained indeed. Rather unneccesarily, Keller connects this with Adam and Eve as historical individuals - his own argument would certainly allow for alternative readings of the account of Adam and Eve.
Nevertheless, this is a rather clear - and accessible - essay, on a hot topic.
