Key Notes
Jiang tells students that personal belief is irrelevant to this pass; the object is Catholic teaching as a system.
A student notes Augustine partly answers the earlier pride question.
Another student tries to read Eve's fruit as a forgivable mistake, preparing Jiang's contrast between Jesus and Augustine.
Jiang argues that Eve's creation can invert patriarchal hierarchy because woman is made from flesh while man is made from dust.
Eve is the hero of the Eden story because she independently judges the fruit and chooses knowledge before Adam follows.
Jiang interprets the naming of Eve as honoring her as the mother of all living and even as a true goddess figure.
Satan's second speech argues that a true God would reward Eve's risk-taking and search for knowledge rather than punish it.
Jiang contrasts his Yale education, which taught Satan as clever liar and Eve as foolish, with his claim that Genesis itself shows the serpent telling the truth.
