Why am I interested enough in Eve to start a blog "all about Eve"? And why would you want to read it?
Well, she is a fascinating and controversial figure. She is the first woman, described in Genesis 1-4, but afterward only mentioned by name in the Bible in the New Testament letters of Paul. She is somewhat mysterious, part of a distant and murky past, and yet so current that everyone knows her name and reputation. She is the female figure most often depicted in art, according to archeologist and OT professor Carol Meyers (Discovering Eve). Yet she is often overlooked in studies of biblical women--and even more often blamed for all our troubles.
Eve is fascinating because she tells us a lot about ourselves. Posts to this blog will explore what we learn from Eve. I invite readers to join the discussion so that together we may sharpen one another and through the Scriptures uncover more of God's majesty and woman's glory.
