Exit From Eden

Charles Tomson examines the tale of Adam and Eve, the Serpent and the Tree of Knowledge. This story of temptation, disobedience and expulsion from the Garden of Eden, is known as ""The Fall"". It has dominated much of Christian thought for many centuries and has often been portrayed as a disaster of cosmic proportions. Together with its concept of ""Original Sin"" it has disturbed personal faith, often in an unhealthy way. This book challenges the reader to reconsider such ideas in the light of modern thought, without rejecting the vital core of personal faith.
