In this excerpt, Thomas Schreiner reflects on the covenant with Noah and the deeper problem revealed in Genesis.
Though the flood marks a kind of “new beginning,” the fundamental issue of human sin remains. Genesis 8:21 reminds us that the inclination of the human heart is evil from youth — a problem not solved by judgment alone.
Schreiner highlights the striking parallel between Adam and Noah: both are connected to a garden, and both fail. The covenant is reestablished, but there is no return to paradise.
