The Wilderness E2 — In the Bible, the wilderness is an uninhabitable, hostile place for human life. And in the creation narratives of Genesis 1 and 2, the wilderness symbolically represents the chaos of a pre-creation state. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the wilderness language in the creation narrative and how it contrasts with Eden, God’s oasis of beauty, order, and abundance.CHAPTERSRecap on the Meaning of the Wilderness (0:00-9:16)Pre-Creation Wilderness and the Eden Oasis (9:16-40:27)Wilderness and Eden Imagery in the Prophets (40:27-57:32)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode’s official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESCheck out Tim’s extensive collection of recommended books here.You can view annotations for this episode—plus our entire library of videos, podcasts, articles, and classes—in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.SHOW MUSIC“Break Bread” by Lofi Sunday, Oly.Lo“Refuge ft.
