“Dr Francesca Stavrakopoulou examines how archaeological discoveries are changing the way people interpret stories from the Bible”
- " The Real Garden of Eden. Can we find the Garden of Eden? Bible scholar Dr Francesca Stavrakopoulou thinks so. In the final episode of her series re-examining conventional readings of the Bible, she argues that the Garden of Eden has nothing to do with the origins of humanity, but is rather a story concealing dramatic events about a particular figure in a particular place, two and half thousand years ago.
Marshalling compelling evidence from archaeology, Islam and the Bible text itself, she identifies and visits the exact site of Eden.
It’s a revolutionary theory which challenges some of the most cherished preconceptions about Eden in both Christianity and western culture.
