Show Notes
For centuries, some readers of Genesis have blamed Eve for the evils of the world because she ate the forbidden fruit in Eden. But Latter-day Saint scripture opens the way for different views, including seeing Eve's decision as visionary and courageous. Our interpretations of Eve have not always been this positive, however, and historical Christianity's interpretations haven't always been that negative. In this episode Dr.'s Amy Easton-Flake and Mark Ellison expand our understanding of Eve.
