The Garden (Part 3) (Jamie Fredricks, 5th November 2023)

After last time’s introduction to Genesis chapter 3, Jamie starts to look in more detail at some of the linguistic and theological features of this famous passage - The Serpent, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the nature of the temptation…

As ever, the emphasis needs to be on a deep and nuanced reading, taking care to note what Scripture actually says, and where we might be tempted to assume or infer details. Not all these inferences are wrong… But we need to perhaps hold them with an appropriate ‘lightness’. As we delve into the rich and resonant story, and all the tantalising details and questions, we will be invited to ponder some of the deepest mysteries of the human condition.
