The Garden of Eden and the Hope of Immortality

Více o knize

Professor Barr reinterprets the Garden of Eden narrative, viewing it not as the origin of sin and death but as a fleeting opportunity for immortality that humanity lost. He critiques the traditional "Fall of Man" perspective, commonly supported by St. Paul, and highlights its shortcomings when examined closely. Despite the longstanding awareness among Old Testament scholars of these issues, Barr aims to provide a compelling alternative interpretation that engages with a broad spectrum of biblical and theological discussions.
