You don't have to be religious for the story of Adam and Eve to
have touched your life. From Voldemort's snake mascot in Harry
Potter novels to the "forbidden fruit" apple that puts Snow White
to sleep in fairy tales, we are inundated with references to the
Garden of Eden in popular culture from an early age. On a deeper
level, the story has been used as justification for conflicting
viewpoints on issues ranging from nudity to marriage to slavery.
Approaching Eden digs much deeper than merely cataloguing
entertaining Adam and Eve references in popular culture by
exploring how these references are used and how they shape society.
Theresa Sanders provides essential historical background from
Christian, Jewish, and Muslim perspectives to show the relevance
and prominence of Adam and Eve's story in life today.
