From the internationally bestselling author of The Shack and Crossroads comes a rich and enthralling retelling of the story of Adam and Evein which Eve is not to blame.

Everyone knows the story: Eve is tricked by an evil snake and convinces Adam to go against Gods word and eat from the tree of knowledge, causing them to be exiled from the Garden of Eden. But what if Eve wasnt to blame for humanitys greatest fall from grace? What if Adam had betrayed Eveplotting with the snake to convince her to take the apple before she was even born from his rib?

In an absorbing and artistic narrative, William Paul Young explores the gaps in the original creation story of Genesis, painting Eve as a beautiful, wise heroine, rather than the unreliable woman history has cast her to be.

Eves assumed responsibility for original sin has sparked a division between humans and God, male and female, that has resulted both directly and indirectly in the punishment of women through their perpetual subordination to men. Entirely different from the conversation that has been allowed to dominate our modern theological perspectives, Eve reveals that God and humans were never truly separated by exile, but rather the separation was created in our own minds.

If The Shack challenged existing paradigms regarding the nature and character of God, this compelling narrative questions the nature of humanity and our relationships with one another, fundamentally changing our understanding of a womans value in todays world.
