The Tree of Wisdom - Part 1

Recently I read an article on the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the midst of the Garden of Eden. Personally, I found this article by William N. Wilder in the Westminster Theological Journal was quite edifying. So here’s the citation if you’re interested in reading it yourself:

Wilder, William N. “Illumination and Investiture: The Royal Significance of the Tree of Wisdom in Genesis 3.” The Westminster Theological Journal 68.1, no. Spring (2006): 51-69.

I relied heavily on Wilder’s work in a sermon that I preached today, largely because I had been so gripped myself by his thoughts. Over the next days I will be posting a written version of that sermon from my notes. I will do my best to cite his thoughts from mine, however, for those readers who also preach part of a good sermon is that level of meditation when you have so ingested the material that it becomes part of you. So this will serve as my blanket citation to that end.

Something to say?
