Sex, seduction, and the perfect marriage. Though it may not have
been the intent of Genesis 1-3, the biblical first couple has been
used for generations to sell consumable goods and strange
ideologies--both salacious and holy--to willing western masses.
And, Linda Schearing and Valarie Ziegler argue, Adam and Eve have
become archetypal figures for secular and religious society alike
as they are transplanted from their ancient garden to a more modern
Eden, often with eyebrow-raising consequences. Finding common
ground between both religious and secular recastings of Adam and
Eve, Schearing and Ziegler offer page-turning evidence of just how
ubiquitous the first couple has become. From online dating services
and promises of God-ordained romance to the advertising and selling
of games, bathroom fixtures, and even risqué bloomers, Adam and
Eve are a hot commodity in modern culture. These strange,
confusing, often humorous, and sometimes shocking accounts testify
to the myriad of ways in which Genesis 1-3 has been recycled and
recreated in the popular imagination, and moreover, in promotion of
the Western worldview.
