We’ll start with a discussion on the similarities between Adam and Noah’s commission and the one given to the patriarchs, and then we will discuss the differences between the two commissions.

We also start to recognize a pattern of judgement between God and humanity.

In this series we’re going to take a wide angle view of the subject through the lens of biblical theology, starting at the beginning with the land promise in Creation.
