@jcarusosaw@BakerAcademic The dramatic paradigm also gives Genesis 1-3, creation and fall, a far more controlling role than Irenaeus and other early Christian writers; for them, Christ is the benchmark and culmination of God's creation purposes, not the (lost) world of Genesis 1 and 2.
@jcarusosaw@BakerAcademic The chief differences lie in this: the dramatic paradigm focuses only on God's work of redeeming a broken creation, whereas Irenaeus and other early Christian writers understood God's work to include maturing and transfiguring a good but incomplete creation.
