Genesis 3 does not end with hiding. It moves into a courtroom. The man blames the woman. The woman blames the serpent. Responsibility slides downward, each voice reaching for distance from the act that has shattered the garden. The rupture has already occurred....

Genesis 3 unfolds without spectacle, yet it carries the weight of a collapsing world. There is no thunderclap when the woman sees that the tree is good for food, delightful to the eyes, and desirable for gaining wisdom. There is no visible tremor in the ground when...

Marriage was the first structure the serpent attacked, but it was not the last thing in his sights. Beneath the question about God’s Word and beneath the fracture of husband and wife, there was something even deeper at stake. The serpent was not only challenging...

From the beginning, the visible world was meant to reveal the Invisible God. That is the heart of True Fantasy. It’s not an escape from reality, but the revelation within it. The unseen made known through what can be seen. Creation was not decoration—it was...

Genesis 2 closes with one of the most breathtaking statements in all of Scripture: “And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.” In that single sentence, we are invited into a world untouched by fear, unmarked by guilt, and unshadowed by suspicion....
