Since antiquity, one story has stood at the center of every conversation about men and women. One couple has been the battleground for human relationships and sexual identity. That couple is Adam and Eve. Yet instead of celebrating them, history has blamed them for bringing sin, deceit, and death into the world.
Author Bruce Feiler is known for books that explore the import in our own lives of our culture’s foundational stories. His bestsellers Walking the Bible and Abraham explored our shared ancestors and engaged people of all backgrounds in open conversation during a time of discord and fear. Feiler is also the host of the PBS series Walking the Bible and Sacred Journeys with Bruce Feiler.
In his new book, The First Love Story: Adam, Eve and Us - Feiler looks to redeem history’s first couple and explains the many ways we’ve scapegoated Eve, and elevates these founding figures to their rightful place, he believes, as role models for unity and forgiveness.
