Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

'EDEN'What does that word conjure for you?There are entire sections of libraries and museums dedicatedto Eden's meaning and impact...theological treatises, poemsand novels, plays and reflections, songs and pieces of art...but so few - if any - stay close enough to the Hebrew tobring forward anything all that helpful to human life. Instead, all too many interpretations set us up for war.Ancient audiences hearing the Eden Story for the first timelikely laughed heartily at the story...while modern audiencestend to get so serious about Adam and Eve's "sin" as if itdoomed us all. Indeed this way of understanding the storymoves us into a deadly binary - good vs. evil - and very farfrom the all-encompassing Infinite God/Universe.What would happen if we today could listen to the EdenStory as if for the first time? Where the Hebrew soundsalone will squirm you into laughter, pleasure, and newpossibilities. Plus the well-crafted characters of the story....The Divine who plays in the mud. Who desires Its firstcreature. A snake who lisps out the correct future. A womanwho has a thing for lusty fruit and wisdom.What's really there in the Eden Story might change your life, whether you're religious or not.Join the lovemaking as Bible Begins.
