Ever notice the surprising threads shared by the serpent-tempter and the man in Genesis 3? Dr. Joy Fleming points them out, and much more, in this excerpt from her book Man and Woman in Biblical Unity, Theology from Genesis 2-3.
God noticed parallels in the rebellious acts of the serpent-tempter and the man. Strikingly the text of Genesis 3 is written out in 6 parallel points as God addresses each one of them. The way the passage is written reinforces the meaning of what is told us in these verses.
The woman did not share in any of these 6 parallels yet many people lump her in with the other two. This is sloppy exegesis.
This section of Dr. Joy Fleming's book, Man and Woman in Biblical Unity, Theology from Genesis 2-3, reveals truths in the text that have been buried by generations of bad theology. You may want to relisten to this episode.
