To pick up on your prior post, NT Wright is saying here that the genesis account is much larger than the literal translation or understanding. He is eluding to it being a mythological framework that we see our existence through. If you just focus on the details and make them the focus, you miss the rest of the storyline. Like a good movie or novel by CS Lewis, dont get too bogged down in scene detail, but rather see the entire work as a narrative leading you to deeper truths about who you are and why we are here.
