Description -
The coauthor of the controversial The Book of J reimagines the story of Adam and Even, challenging traditional assumptions about the Genesis creation story with an interpretation marked by some revolutionary revisions.  This is an astonishing interpretation of the Eden story by the co-author of the bestselling The Book of J. Just as that book turned Biblical scholarship on its ear by concluding that parts of the Hebrew Bible were written by a woman, The Lost Book of Paradise breaks new ground by challenging our assumptions about the world's most powerful creations story--Genesis.
