Who better to explain its significance than acclaimed biblical scholar Elaine Pagels? In several of her bestselling works, she examines how Christians reinterpreted the Genesis story to emphasize the sinfulness of human nature, how the creation myth influenced the development of sexual attitudes in the Christian West, and how politics influenced the development of the devil as a figure of evil.
