Raiding the ivory tower of biblical theology without ransacking our faith.
In this follow-up to the discussion of J. Harvey Walton’s dissertation, let’s look closer into his reframing of Eden—not as a perfect paradise but as fragile divine order. Carey pushes back on Walton’s rejection of covenant in Genesis 2–3 and explores how his ideas intersect with Paul’s Adam–Christ typology in Romans 5 and 1 Corinthians 15.
Along the way, we’ll examine:
The tension between fragile order, chaos, and evil in Genesis
Whether Eden was covenantal “proto-temple” space
Adam’s act as covenantal headship rather than simple rebellion
How covenant strengthens Paul’s Adam–Christ parallel without collapsing it into a theodicy
What Christ’s resurrection means as “secured divine order”
If Eden sets the stage for fragile human order, then Christ secures incorruptible life. This episode explores how covenant, resurrection, and divine order fit together in the big story of Scripture.
