In this excerpt, Thomas Schreiner reflects on the Tower of Babel and the recurring pattern of human rebellion throughout the early chapters of Genesis.
After the flood, humanity begins again — yet the fundamental problem of sin remains. In the story of Babel, people attempt to make a name for themselves and reach God’s realm without God. Schreiner explains that this desire for independence from God lies at the heart of human sin.
Yet the biblical narrative also reminds us that evil never ultimately triumphs. God continues to rule over history and judges human pride, even when it appears that wickedness is prevailing.
