Sacred Space in the First Creation: Covenant and Sacred Space

This sermon considers the matter of covenant in relation to the sacred space of the first creation. If sacred space speaks to the divine-human encounter, and man was created a certain way for a certain function in relation to God, then sacred space has a covenantal quality. The text reveals and explains this in terms of the two trees in the Garden of Eden. These two trees are considered in terms of their symbolism and the principles of life and death associated with them.
