Eve and the Choice Made in Eden
by Beverly Campbell
May 16th (3rd Thurs.)
8pm at Amber C.'s
It is not available through the library, however, it may be purchased on Amazon or Barnes and Noble or Deseret Book. Amber also has a copy she is willing to lend out.
Review from Deseret Book:
Is the way that women evaluate their own worth affected still by the
biblical story of Mother Eve? Author Beverly Campbell suggests, “In much
of the literature and in most of the histories referring to women there
is an undercurrent of apology, as though there is something not quite
'all right' about being a woman. In looking for the source of this
unease, I came to recognize that it could be traced to accounts of the
Creation and to the ever-prevalent and negative characterizations of
Eve.”
She writes of three levels from which the story of Eden must be viewed:
as historical fact, as a series of symbols and metaphors, and as a place
for a beginning our own search for spiritual understanding and
relevance in life. This compelling book may change forever your
perception of our first parents and the choice they made.
