The Scriptures: Genesis 2—Adam & Eve As Priests In The Garden

About this episode

The episode explores the significance of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden as a representation of sacred space and their role in the concept of a Royal Priesthood.

Genesis 2 describes a garden in Eden that Ezekiel 28 describes as the “garden of God” on “God’s mountain”. If the Garden is meant to be thought of as a sacred space (temple) for God’s presence on the earth, what does it mean for him to place Adam & Eve in that temple? How does the picture of Adam and Eve in garden inform our identity as a Royal Priesthood described in the New Testament?
