DISTORTED — A Seven-Day Guided Study of Genesis 3

What happens when God’s word is placed beside a competing account of reality?

DISTORTED is a serious seven-day guided study of Genesis 3, examining how the serpent reframes God’s command, contradicts his warning, and introduces suspicion about his character and motives.

Rather than offering easy answers or repeating familiar assumptions, this study carefully distinguishes what Genesis explicitly says from later biblical interpretation and theological inference.

Across seven days, you will explore:

• The Hebrew wordplay between human nakedness and the serpent’s shrewdness

• What Genesis says — and does not say — about the serpent

• How divine abundance is reframed as restriction

• Why the serpent’s deception contains elements of selective truth

• The difference between persuasion and compulsion

• The responsibility of both the woman and the man

• The serpent’s judgment and the consequences of human disobedience

• How Revelation’s “ancient serpent” language develops the Christian interpretation

Your purchase includes:

• A professionally designed 50-page guided study

• Seven days of Scripture reading and textual analysis

• Reflection questions and writing exercises

• Relevant Hebrew terms explained clearly

• Interpretive boundaries separating text, inference, and speculation

• Selected academic sources for further study

Created for readers who want to move beyond surface-level explanations and examine Scripture with greater attention to context, language, theology, and the biblical text itself.
