In the garden Eve chooses not to trust God and desires a knowledge that is either not destined for mankind, or else not destined so quickly. The forbidden fruit does exactly what Satan promises, and what God forbade. It grants knowledge (Gen.3.22), a knowledge at that time forbidden. But in eating it, Eve trads trust […]

There is a spiritual completeness about the Pentateuch. Its five parts not only give us a consecutive history covering the first two thousand five hundred years of human history; they constitute a progressive spiritual unity, setting forth, in their main features, what has been described as “the order of the experience of the people of […]
