Genesis 3 Clothing Our Disappointment Adam, Eve, and God in the Garden

<p>From his continued curiosity about how we develop theologies that sustain us during periods of disappointment, Liam takes a look at Genesis 3. </p> <p>Regular listeners may recall the <a href='https://biblebashpodcast.podbean.com/e/drawing-near%E2%80%94genesis-44/'>Drawing Near episode</a> when Liam shared the story of a Rabbi, at his conversion, asking him, Do you have a theology of disappointment to sustain you when the institution of Judaism and your fellow Jews disappoint you?</p> <p>In this episode, Liam confesses this question continues to pester and inspire him. From the position of thinking through those moments when he disappoints himself, when other people leave him crestfallen, and he feels a bit disconsolate about human nature, Liam takes a closer look at the story of Adam and Eve and their troubling misadventure in the garden of Eden.</p> <p>Afterward, Don offers an other text for consideration—surprisingly, a short paragraph from Liam’s book, <a href='https://otherwiseengaged4u.wordpress.com/2020/06/23/trans-forming-proclamation-a-transgender-theology-of-daring-existence/'>Trans-Forming Proclamation: A Transgender Theology of Daring Existence</a>. </p> Available NOW!
