Key Notes
model
The official biblical story makes Jesus a divine scapegoat who enters human form to redeem humanity after Eden.

interpretation
The serpent is rehabilitated as the impulse to seek knowledge even when a false god or priestly order forbids it.
argument
Human beings cannot compensate God for trying to be God, but simple pardon would teach nothing, so redemption needs a third form.
model
Creativity requires death; without mortality, humans lack urgency and later generations cannot have their own creative life.
diagnosis
Jiang says orthodox Christianity and Judaism leave three major puzzles: why Eden required banishment, why Noah's flood happened if humans stayed wicked, and why Jesus had to die.
interpretation
Jiang distinguishes punishment from banishment: labor pain and hard agricultural work are the punishment, while banishment prevents access to the tree of life.
