...profound--since the result of Adam's and Eve's sin was shame--that faith in Christ would work at restoration here.
...also profound--since I am sometimes ashamed of my fellow brothers and sisters who are part of this restoration
Rutledge is great. I'm working throught the book
now. She's working on a book about atonement. I've
read all of her books of sermons.
“It isn’t important to think of Adam as a literal person; the important thing is to understand Genesis 2-3 and Romans 5:12-21 as true descriptions of the human condition” (21).
While I think Adam was a literal person, I've never quite bought the argument that Adam has to be literally true for Paul's argument to make sense. I'm glad she wrote that. I'll have to check out the book.
Thanks, Scot, for bringing Fleming Rutledge to the attention of many of us who've never heard of her. I appreciate this post about her first sermon in the book.
Yes, me too (along with John "6). Good stuff.
