The Fall: What Went Wrong

This resource provides excerpts from a presentation titled "Fall," which focuses on the second major question in a Foundations Course about the Story of Scripture: "What went wrong?" The material outlines a lesson plan for examining the biblical account of the Fall in Genesis 3, beginning with a definition of sin as rebellion and the reversal of God's order. The slides then analyze specific verses from Genesis 3, highlighting multiple instances of rebellion by the serpent, Eve, and Adam, and subsequently detail the severe consequences imposed upon each party, including pain, conflict, and death. Finally, the presentation shifts to exploring the themes of hope and grace immediately present after the Fall, concluding with a discussion of the Fall's essential role within the larger metanarrative of God's plan.
