The Three Types of Alienation According to Genesis 3
Genesis 3 presents three types of alienation: spiritual, psychological, and social. The first type, spiritual alienation, is shown by man becoming separated from God, as seen when Adam hides after sinning. The second type is psychological alienation, where Adam experiences fear and identity problems post-sin, leading to psychological disintegration. Lastly, social alienation is depicted by Adam and Eve hiding from each other after sinning, symbolizing a breakdown in their relationship and communication. This reveals the interconnectedness of these three forms of alienation, showing how alienation from God leads to alienation from oneself and ultimately, alienation from others.
