Summary
In this episode we read Genesis chapter 3. It was necessary to read from two different English versions of the Bible to get an accurate translation, free of patriarchal bias. The first portion of the chapter is read from the New International Version; the second is read from the Common English Bible. We then explore how complementarian theology makes a number of assumptions about this passage that contradict what we find in the oldest available Bible manuscripts. Once these patriarchal assumptions are addressed, we are then able to reflect on the intended meaning of the passage. We highlight details of humanity's first sin, as well as its tragic consequences.
