註釋Most believe that sin first arose with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. If this was the first instance, Christianity was not around for another two thousand years or more to include it in its belief structure. The first page of this book clarifies that sin, in its original form, was anything done to anger the gods (rather than God). The word for God in the Old Testament is elohim a plural word. Facts like this make this book a vital source for early theological truths. Offers an outstanding rundown on the early gods, who they were and what they stood for. Contains surprising information on our origins, the source of evil, the gods themselves, and humankinds interactions with them.
