Speaker: Bernard Burt
Part of Atonement (2006) · 53:16
The class explores the role of the serpent in the Garden of Eden, emphasizing that the serpent was a beast of the field, not a fallen angel, and that sin entered the world through human choice, not divine creation. It also discusses the significance of the bronze serpent in Numbers, symbolizing redemption from sin, and contrasts the outcomes of being drawn away by desires versus living according to God's will.
Passages: Genesis 3:1-6, Numbers 21:4-9, James 1:13-17
