In this week's edition of Working the Lectionary, we'll explore the famous - indeed, infamous - reading from Genesis 2: 15-17; 3: 1-7, in which the alleged "tempting" and "fall" of humanity occurs. In doing so, we'll examine how our assumed knowledge of this text has perpetuated injustice across millennia...and how our continued assumptions about the "inevitability" and "necessity" of modernity's construction of work and economy continues to blight our lives today.
