How should we think about the fact that there are two creation accounts? What does it mean to be the image of God? Are humans to be servants of Adonai, or something else? Are men and women images in the same way? And what do we do with the fact that women are created second, and "from man"? Does the Bible teach that bodies are bad, and naked bodies are particularly bad?
In this episode, we take a closer look at Genesis 2, and walk through how the Hebrew narrative subverts some problematic views of humanity, gender, rulership, and nakedness. This Genesis 2 narrative gives us a glimpse of theology that doesn't hurt -- one that affirms the value of women, that pictures a different kind of ruling over creation, and that views bodies as good. Come join us on the journey of reconstructing religion.
