The Importance of Reading Genesis 3 Through the Lens of the Rest of the Bible

The subtitle of my book short of glory is a biblical and theological exploration of the fall. I am interested in noticing these later echoes, trying to see how later texts are expecting us to remember what has happened. In Genesis 3 it is really the kind of story that when we look at Genesis 1 and 2 and then we dive into Genesis 4, the reader can think to themselves what just happened That will be explained in this mysterious chapter. The earlier passage of Genesis 3 has incredible explanatory power for why things are the way they are.
