Foreword “. . . lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices” (2 Corinthians 2:11). The reality of Satan and his work, specifically in the Garden of Eden, has spawned numerous questions that Christians have been struggling to answer. In a scientific age, many Christians wonder if Genesis can even be trusted. Often, they simply avoid these questions. But should we as Christians shy away from answering Absolutely not, for we are not ignorant of Satan’s devices. Some of the most common questions asked at Answers in Genesis and to the church as a whole, next to evolution and millions of years, relate to Satan, the origin of sin and evil, and the Fall of man in general. 1 On average, the ministry receives about five to ten questions per week on this topic alone! So there was a real need to get these answers out as well. To be answered properly, many questions must go back to the Curse in Genesis 3 and other early chapters in Genesis. This is exactly what Bodie Hodge has done as he dives into the Scriptures to answer some tough questions. Such questions are having an impact, but few realize how important these questions are. They are, in fact, the very foundation for the Gospel. It was the Fall of man (Adam and Eve) that put us into a bind . . . that required a Savior — Jesus Christ. Satan and the origin of evil are hot topics in today’s culture because the world is attacking the reality of Satan and claiming that evil doesn’t – 9 –
