Why did God place the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden?

View descriptionShare

In this thought-provoking episode of the Enter the Bible podcast, hosts Kathryn Schifferdecker and Katie Langston sit down with Professor of Systematic Theology and The Northwestern Lutheran Theological Seminary Chair of Theology of Luther Seminary, Dr. Alan Padgett, to delve into the theological significance of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden.

Together, they unpack the symbolism behind the trees, the complex nature of good and evil, and the profound impact of Adam and Eve's choices. The discussion also covers free will, the promise of paradise, and how humanity’s moral understanding has evolved over time. Drawing inspiration from C.S. Lewis’s reimagining of the Eden story, this episode offers deep insights into the biblical narrative and its relevance today.
