The Garden Theology Jan H Lamprecht

What is commonly diagnosed as an identity crisis - when we cannot seem to grab a hold of our purpose in life, is in actual fact a design crisis. Somehow our design evaded us. Or did we circumvent it on account of a different influence? I believe the latter to be true. The serpent in the garden presented man with an alternative design which resulted in an alternative identity. In ignorance, we treated the symptom of fallen man and remained oblivious to the cause of the symptom. We tried to make all sorts of unfitting identities stick, whilst there remains only one true identity for man - Christ as our very life. If we are to remedy a design crisis, we need to get to know the Designer who designed us and trouble-shoot all the way back to the garden. Hence the title - The Garden Theology.
