Description
Harold Kushner explores the complexities of human guilt and inadequacy in this thought-provoking new title.
In a radically new interpretation, Kushner reimagines the story of Adam and Eve as a tale of Paradise Outgrown rather than Paradise Lost. He argues that eating from the Tree of Knowledge was not an act of disobedience, but a brave step forward toward becoming human.
Drawing on modern literature, psychology, theology, and his own experience as a congregational rabbi, Kushner reveals how acceptance and forgiveness can change our relationships with others and help us meet the challenge of being human.
