Register to read the introduction… Often they were visited by His messengers, the holy angels, and from them received counsel and instruction. The Garden of Eden was a representation of what God desired the whole earth to become, and it was His purpose that, as the human family increased in numbers, they should establish other homes and schools like the one He had given. The book also talked about how the human’s first parents fell into sin by their power of choice – the power to yield or to withhold obedience. There was a tree of knowledge of good and evil. While God was seeking man’s good, satan was seeking his ruin. When Eve, disregarding the Lord admonition concerning the forbidden tree, ventured to approach it, she came in contact with her foe. Satan desired to make it appear that this knowledge of good mingled with evil would be a blessing, and that in forbidding them to take of the fruit of the tree, God was withholding great good. Satan is very good in manipulating the word of God for his purpose. Man lost all because he chose to listen to the deceiver rather than to Him who is truth who alone has understanding. But man was not abandoned to the results of the evil he had chosen. Instead God gave them His promise. All that had been lost by yielding to Satan could be regained …show more content…

    In the Auerbach reading, Explorers in Eden, the author discusses the life of Frank Hamilton Cushing and his journey as the first Anglo American to become a participating observer amongst the Zuni people.

    In the beginning of time, in a paradisal world of sustained perpetual bliss, man was unflawed, an “infallible” construct, created and contrived by and in the image of an omnipotent being. However, a malevolent serpent—an embodiment of mankind’s insatiable gravitation to depravity—tempted man into partaking the forbidden fruit, considered to be a manifestation of corruption’s scarlet allure. As soon as the first man and woman of creation partook in the fruit, the souls of humanity were mauled, defaced by new evil desires: avarice, lust, and self-servitude, for humanity was now plagued with “original sin”, a brand to mankind that doomed man to perish by the inexorable evils of corruption and sin. However, God made a covenant with man,…

    “Out of Eden” is the first episode which starts off the Guns, Germs, and Steel documentary. This episode kicks off in a country called Papua New Guinea due to the major impact that it had toward Jared Diamond’s findings. In New Guinea, Jared Diamond became inspired to understand why some societies are not as advanced as others. This question has never really entered my mind until I watched this documentary and learned more about Jared’s well thought out theories. In this episode, hunter-gathering, farming, and animal domestication are all examined in order to fully grasp the advancement of cultures.…

Whether on a large scale through evolution or by immediate self improvement, this desire to be a better version of what we already are fuels much of our world. The ancient commission of a writer is to write with the purpose of provoking improvement in the readers, whether this is told through a precautionary tale like that of Cal and Aron, which ultimately led to the unintentional demise of Aron, or by offering more direct insight which was often provided by Lee to other characters in their times of distress.

    Adam and Eve were “free to eat from any tree in the garden; but [they] must not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil” (Genesis 2:16-17). In the beginning, they were completely fine with obeying these laws. However, just as Gene was enticed to hurt Finny, Adam and Eve were drawn to eat from the Forbidden Fruit. They were tempted by the devil in serpent form. The serpent informs Adam and Eve that God did not want them to eat the fruit because “when [they] eat from it [their] eyes will be open, and [they] will be like God, knowing good and evil” (Genesis 3:5).…

Yet when Kate leaves him, he lets it sit empty and unused and it is no longer a paradise. Cathy is Eve, and she has locked him out of his own Eden.…

    In chapter 52 of East of Eden, Abra talks to Cal about why she no longer loves Aron. She says that, in childhood, their story like dreams of marriage and a happy future satisfied her. But, as she grew older, she grew to realize that she wanted more than to live in a story. This really spoke to me, as the discussion of reality and fantasy intrigues me. I find Abra’s decision to face reality and want to live in it extremely admirable, as fantasy is so often much more appealing and tempting.…

    William Benemann had clear intent when writing his most recent novel, Men in Eden: William Drummond Stewart and Same-sex Desire in the Rocky Mountain Fur Trade. Answering the call of Jim Wilke's Frontiers magazine article suggesting the topic, Benemann set to "restore William Drummond Stewart to his place at the table," (2). Though Benemann doubts any intentional misrepresentation of Stewart's sexual history, he believes that most historians simply did not consider the possibility that he was anything other than heterosexual. Men in Eden “explores the role… (of gay men) in... a nineteenth-century mercantile setting,” investigating the draw that such an isolated, yet traditionally masculine, environment might have held (4).…

    The serpent’s approach is seen to be less personal as it quickly dives into the topic of the Tree of Knowledge and Eve is convinced to eat the forbidden fruit because the Tree is “good for eating and lovely to look at” (Genesis Chapter 3). In Paradise Lost, Satan’s approach is more complex than the Biblical version. Satan uses charm and flattery, extolls Eve above all other Creatures in the garden and woes her trust towards him. When Eve gets cautious of his words, the Satan, disguised in the body of a snake, refers her figure to that of a “goddess” and continues to exemplify her beauty until finally warding off her doubts. The Satan persuades Eve that she will not die of eating the fruit.…

    Eve, unlike Adam, does not follow God’s commands and is curious about evil. She believes that it is important to know vice and defeat it rather than to live a sheltered existence. She argues that “what is faith, love, virtue, unassayed Alone, without exterior helped sustained?” (Milton 9.335-336). Once Eve is alone, Satan is able to tempt her with “what might lead To happier life, knowledge of good and evil” from the Tree of Knowledge (Milton 9.696-967).…

    Christians must use their understanding of humanities relationship with God, in order to fulfill His orders to take responsibility for the community of creation. Pope Francis’ Encyclical letter ‘Laudato Si’ aims to bring light current destruction of our global creation. Christian anthropology gives an understanding of the human person, formed through interactions and relationships with others. Christians have formed these interactions to form relationships with creation. The Encyclical refers to the term ‘creation’ in a broader context, referring not only to human’s relationship with the environment, but with God and with neighbours as well.…
