The Epic of Eden
Introduction
Most people have a hodge-podge of knowledge of the old testament but no coherent structure. Richter suggests there are three reasons for this:
Never been taught the OT is their story. Both story and God different to the NT and to Jesus, even unnecessary.
OT is inaccessible for historical, geographical, cultural, linguistic etc. reasons.
The 'dysfunctional closet syndrome'.
OT as your story
OT is two thirds of the Bible and redemption story but treated as 'unfortunate preface'. Yet the characters are unknown to us as close relatives may be to an Alzheimer’s sufferer.
