'EDEN'
What does that word conjure for you?
There are entire sections of libraries and museums dedicated
to Eden's meaning and impact...theological treatises, poems
and novels, plays and reflections, songs and pieces of art...
but so few - if any - stay close enough to the Hebrew to
bring 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 time
likely laughed heartily at the story...while modern audiences
tend to get so serious about Adam and Eve's "sin" as if it
doomed us all. Indeed this way of understanding the story
moves us into a deadly binary - good vs. evil - and very far
from the all-encompassing Infinite God/Universe.
What would happen if we today could listen to the Eden
Story as if for the first time? Where the Hebrew sounds
alone will squirm you into laughter, pleasure, and new
possibilities. Plus the well-crafted characters of the story....
The Divine who plays in the mud. Who desires Its first
creature. A snake who lisps out the correct future. A woman
who 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.
