The biblical story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is a cornerstone of Western civilization; yet there are still many mysteries concerning its origins and meaning. In The Mythology of Eden; Arthur and Elena George utilize new historical and archaeological discoveries to reveal how the story’s author uses veiled symbolism and mythological storytelling to convey his message about the most profound questions of human existence regarding the divine; life; death; and immortality. This innovative book offers an interdisciplinary interpretation of the Eden story that delves into incorrect assumptions and brings to light details that have previously gone unnoticed. The Mythology of Eden provides a new understanding of the story of Adam and Eve and illuminates the story’s role and meaning in our modern world.

The Best....By oldkateIf you want the Historical; True history of the RC Church...this is the book to read...No heavy stuff...No lies...my Beloved Church; Warts All...of course the Dogma is un-changed in those areas that are Basic to Orthodox Doctrine...but; Human Nature opens Every Institution to Abuses of all sorts...Mine is a Church of for Sinners!! Almost every great Saint had tendencies to be just as great Sinners!! That's one of the things I love Most about my Church; I fit right in!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. good read; very criticalBy Edward Schwartzwritten by an anglican;he doesn't pull any punches; should be called: "power and mistakes of the Catholic church"2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A traditional Catholic historical classic!By Brian D. BabiakA wonderful book of Catholic history.Typical topics like the Crusades and the Inquisition are handled deftly. Also; it fits the saints into their time and the Church in a way typical saint biographies do not. A must for any trad-Catholic book collection!
