Summary:
From the presenter of the PBS Television series Walking the Bible comes a revelatory journey across four continents and 4,000 years exploring how
Adam
and
Eve
introduced the idea of
love
into the world, and how they continue to shape our deepest feelings about relationships, family, and togetherness. Bruce Feiler travels from the Garden of Eden in Iraq to the Sistine Chapel in Rome, from John Milton's London to Mae West's Hollywood, discovering how
Adam
and
Eve
should be hailed as exemplars of a long-term, healthy, resilient relationship. At a time of discord and fear over the strength of our social fabric, Feiler shows how history's
first
couple can again be role models for unity, forgiveness, and
love
.
