The Watchers, Babel, and God’s “Choice” of Israel

When we think about “context” there are certain concepts that come to mind involving grammar, genre, literary devices, and other linguistic features. But there’s much more to the issue of context than that! Here’s an excerpt from my upcoming book that gives an introduction to thinking about interpreting the Bible well.
God in the Garden in the Cool of the Day: A Man, or a Myth?
What kind of relationship did God have with Adam and Eve? Depending upon how you understand a particular pericope in Genesis 3, it may alter your entire understanding of the nature of God’s relationship to his first imagers. Was God in the garden a “man,” or a “myth?”
