Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"But you don't really believe all that, do you? Adam and Eve? A talking snake? People living nine hundred years?"

Every Christian knows the question. It usually arrives over dinner, from a friend, wearing the costume of a question but deployed as a conclusion - and it almost never gets a proper answer.

What About Adam and Eve? takes the most readily dismissed pages of the Bible and reads them slowly, on their own terms, asking the hard questions out loud. Why does a death sentence pronounced "on that day" take nine centuries to execute? Why does Genesis record 900-year lifespans without a flicker of amazement - and why do those numbers fall, generation by generation, in a curve? Why does an ancient text link hard childbirth to the taking of knowledge, three thousand years before science circled the same connection? And why is Eden given a map reference - in exactly the river-country where archaeology finds the first cities, the first writing, the first laws?
