Episode: Eve—A Name of Celebration (Genesis 3:20)
Description: For all the consequences of sin Adam and Eve and their descendants would have to endure, there was one they didn’t, or at least didn’t have to, if they believed in God’s promise. And that fact was a source of monumental disappointment to the devil, and was celebrated in the name that Adam gave to his wife.Music Credit: J. S. Bach, “Wir eilen mit schwachen, doch emsigen Schritten,” aria from “Jesu, der du meine Seele,” BWV 78 (Leipzig, 1724).
