The Triumph of Eve

For over 2,000 years the Bible has been and continues to be the world's most popular and influential book. Yet, biblical stories and their meanings are often ambiguous, allowing for multiple interpretations. Unfortunately, many people were taught and remember only a one-dimensional Bible. For example, the story of Adam and Eve teaches the penalty for disobedience, while ?beware of jealousy? is the lesson of Cain and Abel. With engaging retellings of some classic Bible stories, this unique collection allows readers to grapple with questions and issues that are often hidden in the original text, including: ? Can the tension between justice and mercy be resolved? ? How can knowledge of death be life affirming? ? Why does a physical disability often bring strength? ? What is the essential nature of the human being?
