The Boundless Bible 02: Adam & Eve: Beyond The Garden
In this episode, we take our first deep dive into the Bible by exploring one of its most famous stories: Adam and Eve. But don’t expect a Sunday school retelling. Together, we unpack unique perspectives and interpretations that push traditional tellings, offering fresh, useful insights into this ancient tale.
Can we ever truly comprehend the balance between free will and divine foresight? Boundless Bible invites you to join us as we explore the story of Adam and Eve with fresh eyes, unraveling its layers of literal and symbolic meaning. From the moment of creation to the pivotal choice that led to humanity's fall, we examine this ancient narrative as a reflection of our own lives, teetering between curiosity and consequence. We promise you a journey that goes beyond the surface to question why choice was given if the outcome was foreseen, and how this timeless story continues to echo the universal human condition.
Whether you’re a Christian, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, we promise you’ll hear something new. Is this a story about sin, choice, consciousness, or something else entirely? We each bring a different lens—literal, poetic, and philosophical—to this foundational narrative and uncover layers of meaning that might just change the way you see it... or feel it.

- How the story of Adam and Eve can be interpreted beyond literal readings.
- Why the Tree of Knowledge might represent more than just temptation.
