John Bell: Adventures in Eden (Bookings on hold)

What do these stories in common: a woman who talks to snakes, a fruit tree which ruins the taste buds, a landlover who builds a floating zoo, a world-beating political project which ruins the nation, a god who prefers market gardening to shepherding? If you look in the first chapters of the book of Genesis, you will find all these. But what have they to do with the earth’s ecosystem, the rise of new empires, the role of women and international relations?

John Bell believes these ancient stories have profound truths which speak into the age we live in and the faith we share.
