RE-READING THE STORY OF EVE (AND ADAM)

Summary/Abstract: This is a re-reading and retelling of the story of Eve and Adam. It argues that the action of Eve was at one and the same time Ascent – completing our creation as humans with moral agency, a condition for meaningful Imitatio Dei – and Fall – giving an additional nuance to Original Sin – not merely disobedience but rejection of the very meaning of humanity and liberty offered by the Holy One Blessed Be He. We owe, thus, to Eve the richness of our human existence – with joy and sorrow, with freedom to do good but potential to be sinful, in an eternal search for sanctification and salvation.
