How Genesis Sets Up the Entire Story of the Bible: Hakeem Bradley

In this episode of Theology Re-Examined, I get to have a conversation with Hakeem Bradley from the Bible Project about how the book of Genesis sets up the story for the entire rest of the Hebrew Bible (and New Testament). In this conversation we leave no stones unturned, discussing things like the garden of Eden, becoming a tree of life, cherubim, hip hop, the structure and coherence of the Bible, the fall of Adam and Eve, the serpent and more! This is a conversation you are definitely not going to want to miss.

Bio: Hakeem served in pastoral ministry at various churches in Portland, OR before joining the team at BibleProject in 2021 as a "professional nerd". He completed a Masters degree in Biblical studies at Western Seminary, and is currently pursuing a PhD (online) at a school in Australia. He currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife and two kids.
