The Old Testament (Week 2): Adam & Eve

Abbot Ankido emphasizes covenant as the key to Scripture because covenants form family, arguing an implied covenant with Adam and Eve later “renewed” with Noah and clarified by Luke’s genealogy calling Adam “son of God.” Adam’s vocation is framed as priest, king, and prophet—charged to “till and keep” the garden as priestly duty and to offer himself in obedience—yet he fails by allowing the serpent’s temptation. This lecture begins unpacking Genesis 3, highlighting the serpent’s subtle distortion of God’s character, the half-truth about death, and the temptation to “be like God” through owning morality (moral relativism/autonomy). ––– New episodes drop weekly.
