Objectives

  • Students will interpret the Edenic covenant through the perspective of dispensationalism.

Opening

Main Body

The Bible contains a significant number of covenants. So how do we view this covenants from a dispensational perspective.

Eden

We are not going to take a stance on whether or not there is an Edenic Covenant or whether there is something like a covenant, say a pseudo-covenant in the garden of Eden. Instead, let's look at ways in which this looks like a covenant and how that impacts us.

  • What parties are discussed in Genesis 2:28-30?
    • God and humanity. Adam is representative of the whole human race. How do we know? Because Eve is also responsible for the conditions although she is not explicitly mentioned.
