Dan, I am intrigued by this opening up of the creation story. You recast it as a beginning of being human rather than a fall. But I felt like I had only read through half the post when I got to the end. I was hoping to hear the title you would want to give the story. And what it would tell us about being human. And how guilt and sin are part of being human rather than a punishment. And what redemption might look like in this reframing of the story.
So the post was a great success for this reader. It left me wanting more. And rereading it to look for clues. Thanks.
So nice to hear what was going on for you as you read. Thanks for this comment.
I’m working on a book now (will probably be a few years before it comes into existence) that will dive into the guilt and sin questions. My first (and only) book tackles the redemption question—although it doesn’t use that word. So the themes you pick out are apparently the ones I’m interested in as well.
