In this lesson, Headmaster William Michael of the Classical Liberal Arts Academy guides students through Genesis Chapter 3, which records the fall of Adam and Eve and the beginning of salvation history. Students study the serpent’s temptation, humanity’s disobedience, the immediate effects of sin, and God’s just yet merciful response. The lesson highlights the Protoevangelium (Genesis 3:15)—the first promise of a Redeemer—and explains how this chapter forms the foundation for Catholic teaching on original sin, human suffering, and redemption through Christ.
