Episode description as stored
We have all heard the story of Adam and Eve. But what was the Garden of Eden which they inhabited? In this week's episode, Helen and Lloyd travel back to the dawn of time with Dr Dylan Johnson as their guide to this mythical landscape. Together, they get to the bottom of questions like: Was the Garden of Eden meant to be a real place, or a symbolic vision of paradise? Is Genesis borrowing from older Mesopotamian stories about divine gardens?  Was Adam imagined as a king placed in God’s garden to rule on his behalf? Is Eve really to blame for “the fall,” or is that a misreading? And who exactly is the serpent, before later tradition identified him with Satan?
