OverviewThe Biblical story of Eden is one of innocence, suffering, estrangement, displacement, self-consciousness, awakening, and separation. But it is also a story of hope, about the gaining wisdom and self-knowledge. It is about the costs of maturation and a reckoning with our own mortality. In The First Family, author Bruce Chilton presents a vision of a near, knowable Eden, an Eden that may have been damaged but is not lost.
