Key Notes
After the flood, Yahweh recognizes that free-willed humans will do evil and promises not to solve it by destroying all life again.
The canonical Bible is framed as a sequence of covenants, beginning with Adam and Noah.
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.
