Listen "Was Adam the Original Sinner?"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Lance Jenott introduces the idea in early Christian writing that Adam was a victim, rather than the original sinner. As his 'helper,' Eve is Adam's savior. Although the New Testament includes very little mention of Adam, other extracanonical texts envision another source of evil determined to make Adam submissive. Although 4th century Augustine interpreted Genesis differently, earlier writings show how a spiritual marriage to Christ unites "Adam" (humanity) with "Eve" (life in the spirit).
