Description

"The beginning is everything, and the tale of human beginnings is no exception. We cannot understand our destiny until we find our place within the story of our origins. Two great faiths, Judaism and Christianity, trace their heritage back to the very same Garden of beginnings. In this book, Gary Anderson explores both Jewish and Christian readings of the account of Adam and Eve and charts how human ends are configured by human beginnings. The Genesis of Perfection uncovers the ways evil, sin, sex, forgiveness, and redemption vexed the story of these first humans, and it illustrates how their story portends the fortunes of us all."--BOOK JACKET.
