0023 Craig labors to define the stories of Adam and Eve<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time the reader reaches the section on ancient Near East mythology,<\/em> Craig sets forth the meaning1<\/sub>, the presence1<\/sub>and the message1<\/sub><\/em> underlying the stories of Adam and Eve2<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0024 The meaning1<\/sub> is the same as before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presence1<\/sub> focuses on Genesis 2:4-11 and the very ancient Near East.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The message includes two themes (T1 and T2).  For T1, humankind tends to destroy what God has made good<\/em>.  For T2, God delivers us from the destruction that we wreak<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0025 Oops.  Did I forget that Adam is the originator of humanity’s tragic flaw?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wonder, “Where does the historical Adam fit into the above figure?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps, I can rearrange the two themes.  I can join T2 with Jewish covenantal history, since this seems to go along with the point that Paul makes in Romans 5:12-21.  Then, I can put the historical Adam (the one who originates humanity’s tragic flaw,<\/em> bringing sin and death into our world) in with T1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
