The Leonard Lopate Show | Sep 13, 2017
The story of Adam and Eve consists of only a few ancient verses, yet it has resonated with religions and minds like St. Augustine and Milton for centuries. In his new book The Rise and Fall of Adam and Eve, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winner Stephen Greenblatt explores the cultural and theological significance of the story and how it became part of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions.
Note: Jonathan Capehart guest-hosted this segment of "The Leonard Lopate Show."
