Greedily she gorged without restraint
And knew not eating death.
John Milton – Paradise Lost
Blaise Pascal, the renowned 17th Century mathematician and physicist, when considering what we call original sin, wrote the following:
“But for this mystery, the most incomprehensible of all, we remain incomprehensible to ourselves.”
This booklet attempts to answer some of the issues that we are faced with — after the first man and women disobediently ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
We know that, despite the command, they ate — and death came. We also know that the tree in itself was not evil, for all things were good, as we read in the first chapter of the book.
We know too that the apostle Peter wrote that Jesus Christ was hanged on a tree.
What do all these things mean, and how can we connect them to the issues, ‘good and bad’, that we face today?
