Show Notes

BYU Lecture #3: The Fall and Eviction from the Garden

Text: Genesis 3-4; Moses 4-5

Supplemental Text: The First 2,000 Years chapters 6-9

After Adam and Eve’s arrival in the Garden, the Fall became a tremendous challenge, as it is on every Earth created for mankind. Essential as the Fall is, our first parents were required to deliberately and voluntarily take that step to bring about mortality.

In this episode, Dr Skousen teaches a profound appreciation for the role of agency and the consequence of choice. Having chosen to disobey God, Adam and Eve are evicted from the Garden and begin human history at Adam-Ondi-Ahman. The Plan of Salvation takes on great significance as Christ and His sacrifice is introduced. This episode turns doctrine into living drama, inviting listeners to witness the human emotions, difficult decisions, and eternal consequences that affect you and your family today.
