Genesis The Third: History, Not Fable (1883)

Genesis The Third: History, Not Fable is a book written by Edward White and published in 1883. The book is a detailed analysis of the third chapter of the Book of Genesis in the Bible, which tells the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. White argues that this chapter should be read as a historical account rather than a fable or allegory. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the story. White examines the language and structure of the text, as well as the historical and cultural context in which it was written. He also considers various interpretations of the story throughout history, and argues that the traditional Christian understanding of the story is the most accurate. Throughout the book, White emphasizes the importance of reading the Bible as a historical document, rather than as a collection of myths and legends. He argues that the story of Adam and Eve is a crucial part of human history, and that understanding its true meaning is essential for understanding the human condition. Overall, Genesis The Third: History, Not Fable is a thought-provoking and scholarly examination of one of the most important stories in the Bible. It will be of interest to anyone who is interested in the history of religion, as well as to those who are seeking a deeper understanding of the Bible and its teachings.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
