Genesis Marks the Spot

Adam, Christ, and the Fragile Order - Episode 141


Listen Later

In this follow-up to the discussion of J. Harvey Walton’s dissertation, let’s look closer into his reframing of Eden—not as a perfect paradise but as fragile divine order. Carey pushes back on Walton’s rejection of covenant in Genesis 2–3 and explores how his ideas intersect with Paul’s Adam–Christ typology in Romans 5 and 1 Corinthians 15.

Along the way, we’ll examine:

  • The tension between fragile order, chaos, and evil in Genesis

  • Whether Eden was covenantal “proto-temple” space

  • Adam’s act as covenantal headship rather than simple rebellion

  • How covenant strengthens Paul’s Adam–Christ parallel without collapsing it into a theodicy

  • What Christ’s resurrection means as “secured divine order”

  • If Eden sets the stage for fragile human order, then Christ secures incorruptible life. This episode explores how covenant, resurrection, and divine order fit together in the big story of Scripture.
