| Итог: | Whereas in Eden eating from the Tree of Knowledge represents Adam and Eve's disobedience, the Tree of Life, rarely mentioned in the account of the Fall, remains the firm symbol which, despite their disobedience, holds the promise of redemption. It is transformed into the Cross on which Christ, eating again of the fruit of disobedience, bears and redeems the universal sin which resulted from the Fall. My case is supported by references to John Milton's Paradise Lost, Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Creation and Fall, to poetry, art, song and the entire range of Scripture, culminating in Revelation where the redemption of all humanity is confirmed. |
