This class traces the story of creation, fall, and redemption, three of the four-fold movements of the overarching theme of the entire bible as found in Genesis 1-3. This account is foundational for understanding covenant theology, from a reformed confessional perspective. It is foundational for understanding the entire course of biblical theology as it sets the stage for a God-centered, Christ-centered interpretation of scripture. It exalts the person and work of Christ as the second and last Adam in the covenant of grace, who in his humiliation and exaltation has opened the gates of heavenly paradise for his church.
