Rediscovering Eve

Carol Meyers' 'Rediscovering Eve' offers a fresh perspective on the story of Eve in Genesis 3, challenging traditional interpretations that have often portrayed her negatively.

Meyers delves into the historical and cultural context of the ancient Near East to uncover the original meaning of the text.

She examines the roles of women in ancient Israelite society and explores the significance of the creation narrative.

Meyers argues that Eve should be seen not as a temptress or the cause of humanity's downfall, but as a resourceful and intelligent figure who makes a conscious choice to gain knowledge.

Her reinterpretation sheds new light on the relationship between men and women in the Bible and offers a more empowering portrayal of Eve.
