I'm reading 'The Federal Vision' (edited by Steve Wilkins). In Chapter 5 (Merit Versus Maturity), James Jordan writes that Adam's sin was not eating of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil...but that he ate from it too soon.
To say it kindly, I am finding most of the exegesis throughout this chapter to be utterly bizarre.
Historical question...has anyone else in the history of the Christian church ever taught such a thing?
What is the logical connection between this particular take on The Fall and the rest of the FV arguments. I think I have some pieces but not the whole of it.
Any other interaction appreciated…not to be rude… but please, only reply if you have actually read the article in question and can interact with the points presented in it.
