Summary

To Be Human - Part Seventeen: Snakes on a Plain. Today Mike and Tim dive into Genesis 3! There are some interesting themes of wisdom, prudence, and the fall of humanity and the serpent! What is the significance of the serpent's role and the parallel between the serpent and Adam and Eve. They also touch on the problem of evil and the implications of wisdom in the biblical narrative.

First, our fearless heroes discuss the concept of salvation and its definition. They explore the idea of salvation as embodied participation in new creation, emphasizing the importance of being fully human and imaging God in the world. They highlight the need for an understanding of salvation that goes beyond personal forgiveness of sins and focuses on the restoration of God's reign on earth.

00:00 - Intro

05:15 - Email on the definition of 'salvation.'

24:40 - Genesis 3

0:22.6	Which opens up a whole can of worms, but we do our best with about 20 minutes to unpack
0:29.6	a lot of the language that's in there, how it's changed for us over time, how does the text
0:35.6	and the words we normally use to get to our ideas of salvation,
0:39.3	what are those words, where do they come from, how do they link to other words in the text and so on and so forth.
