"Chapter 4: The Holy Mountain

Though often conflated even by Scripture itself, Eden and Paradise (the Garden) are not entirely synonymous. Eden was a mountain ("The Holy Mountain of God"), and the Garden of Eden was placed on the eastern side of Mount Eden (Gen 2:8)."

Book cover for Children at the Lord's Table? Assessing the Case for Paedocommunion
Context is always of special importance to the interpretation of any scriptural passage. But I object to the use of the context to override the clear particulars of the passage.
Andrew Meredith
Context isn't just of "special importance." Context is king. Context is determinative for both limiting and then selecting from available interpretations. If your favored "clear particulars of the passage" don't agree with the context, then they should be abandoned. This quote has "I'm about to engage in some eisegesis" written all over it. I can only imagine what my professors would have said if I would have written this line into one of my seminary essays.

Martin Luther
“If I profess with loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except that little point which the world and the Devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved, and to be steady on all the battlefield besides, is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point.”
Martin Luther

“Esther Meek summarizes this uncontractual dynamic in the following way: “Law, so prominent in Scripture, is not to be understood as creating relationship. Rather, law nourishes relationship.”11”

“This reflects in the sphere of epistemology the wider point made by Cornelius Van Til that “covenant theology is the only form of theology which gives a completely personalistic interpretation to reality.”18”
Christopher Watkin, Biblical Critical Theory: How the Bible's Unfolding Story Makes Sense of Modern Life and Culture

“The word translated “favor” in Genesis 6:8 is the Hebrew hen, which also means “grace.” With that in mind, there are two ways that this pivotal moment of the biblical narrative could be taken. The first is that Noah, because he was righteous and blameless in his own strength, attracted God’s attention and found divine favor. The second is that Noah was given grace on God’s free initiative, not because of any good behavior or spark of potential on Noah’s part, and that as a result of receiving grace he is righteous and blameless. Both the fuller context of a biblical understanding of God’s undeserved grace and the order of the propositions in verses 8 and 9 militate in favor of the latter interpretation.”

“Neither we nor the universe are necessary. We may be important, precious, glorious even, but preciously and gloriously unnecessary.”
