The Bible as Literature

In this week’s episode Fr. Paul continues his discussion of Genesis 2 highlighting its interconnection with Genesis 3. Beginning with verse 16 and the Lord God’s commandment than man not partake of the tree of knowledge, Fr. Paul will explain how death as punishment in the biblical story is not the same as natural death. He will also talk about his famous reading, that the creation of woman, who was “built out of the man” is a clever play on the biblical critique of the things men build with their own hands.
