Romans Chapter 5
IN THIS LESSON
Through one man, Adam, sin came into the world. Through one man, Jesus, the grace and gift of God came into the world. Paul’s reading of the Genesis story is neither purely literary nor historical, but rather allegorical. How do you interpret this passage? Is Jesus the second Adam? If so, in what sense?
