In this presentation, Dr. Julie Faith Parker will upend assumptions about the Bible’s first couple. First Dr. Parker will offer an overview of her most recent book, Eve Isn’t Evil, which Publisher’s Weekly describes as “smart and impressive.” Sharing research from the title chapter, she will show that interpretation has largely overtaken the biblical text in our common understanding of this creation story.

Combining academic information and personal stories with PowerPoint, video, and lively discussion, this conversation promises to change how you think about Eve and Adam—and, by extension, yourself.
