For more information, links to other lectures, links to the slides used, links to suggested supplementary resources/podcasts / commentaries / books / articles etc, see the course web-page: https://sites.google.com/view/biblica...

In this class we discuss the origins of the chapter and verse divisions of the Biblical text, and we discuss the account of the fall of man.

The story is important for many reasons, and has influenced our culture in countless ways.

Important topics include:

The Origin of Evil
The Role of Man vs. Nature
The Inherent Nature of Man (sinful vs. good)
Original Sin
The Perception of Sexuality
The Role of Women
The Goals of God
The Value of Knowledge
The Importance of Obedience
Science vs. Religion
Adam as Israel
Temple Theology of Israel
The Atonement of Christ

We cover some (but not all) of these subjects. Unfortunately, there is always more to say, and not enough time to say it all.
