![[#41] Genesis 3:6 – Drawn by Desire](https://redeeminggod.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Eve-eating-fruit-Genesis-3-6-150x150.jpg)
This episode of the One Verse Podcasts look at the third foundational and revolutionary truth from Genesis 2-3. We see it in Genesis 3:6.
This study also considers an important concept from René Girard’s mimetic theory to see how a key concept is found in Genesis 3:6. If you want to learn more about this and how these insights help us understand God, Scripture, theology, current events, politics, and even your very own life, I recommend you get started with my book The Atonement of God.
The Text of Genesis 3:6
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
In this discussion of Genesis 3:6 we look at:
- Why Genesis 3:6 is the grammatical center of Genesis 2–3
- The third foundational truth: “Imitation Awakens Desire”
- How Eve came to desire the forbidden fruit
- The problem with religious fences is revealed
- The shocking revelation that Adam was right there with Eve
