Ch. 3 of Understanding the Scriptures: “The Creation of the World”
Published September 8th, 2006 in PodcastsListen to Carson Weber present Chapter 3: The Creation of the World of Understanding the Scriptures during the Wednesday evening Bible class at St. Mary Catholic Church in Brenham, Texas.
In this lesson, Carson focuses upon the language and structure of the first three chapters of the Book of Genesis. This allows us to discover the interpretive clues that the author of Genesis gives, which in turn serve as the key to unlocking the truths the author means to affirm. You will learn how the cosmos is one large temple in which the Garden of Eden serves as the sanctuary, the Holy of Holies. Adam is instructed to keep and guard the sanctuary as its priest, which helps us understand why as an unfallen, upright, just man, he would have so easily transgressed the divine command. These Old Testament realities are then shown to serve as types, which are fulfilled in the New Covenant antitypes of Jesus and Mary, the New Adam and the New Eve.

Enhanced Podcast [79:09m]: 





I’ve just started listening to these podcasts. Thank you for producing them, they are really helping me to work through the text of the book. I have started a sort of review/notes of the chapters as I go through them for some of the listeners of our own show, the Hands and Feet Show. If you’re interested, check out our forums at talk.beyourhands.com and our podcast at www.beyourhands.com. Thanks again!
Javier, great idea! Keep up the good work at the Hands and Feet Show (I’ve seen some of the good work you’re doing).
Hi:
Just started listening to you on podcast. I love all the information you gave it was mind blowing. I learned so much. somethings for the first time made sense the way you explained. example: Jesus the new Adam. It was great. I have just one (for now) question. how many time is the story of creation told in different formats in the bible?
thanks d cook
