Comments on: N.T. Wright on the Myth of Adam & Eve http://pastoralia.org/church/n-t-wright-on-the-myth-of-adam-eve Welcome. I'm a husband, a father, an ordained minister, and a postmodern pilgrim. You can check out some of the projects I'm involved with below. In this space I mostly write about the intersections of Christianity and culture.

I suppose I would not sound too intellectual if I said "i wish i had the intellectual capacity of one of the hairs on N.T's earlobes, then I'd be immensely more edumacatedery than I am now".... Briliiant- I must listen to it again. I suppose I would not sound too intellectual if I said “i wish i had the intellectual capacity of one of the hairs on N.T’s earlobes, then I’d be immensely more edumacatedery than I am now”….

Still, from what little I do understand the layers of meaning only reinforce the typology of myth that Wright is referring to here. Good stuff Ian, thanks for speaking up...and tell my nieces I said hello : ) Ian - You’re quite right about Hebrew, although I’m certainly no linguist.

The Holy Text was intended to be understood through a Hebrew linguistic comprehension, containing multiple meanings, even from syllable to syllable. The depths of Hebrew are unparalleled and the most sacred of ancient lore. If one considers the difference between a Hebrew translation and a Greek translation of any given word, it is actually quite eye opening when one starts to realize how much we are missing as an entire western culture, when it comes to truely understanding God's Word.

I think he's definitely on to something. Have always loved that about Wright – he manages to infuriate both liberals and fundamentalists alike. I think he’s definitely on to something.
