Recenzii
Sanders takes readers through a myriad of sources, ranging from medieval Jewish legends about Lilith to episodes of The Simpsons and movies such as Pleasantville (1998). . . . Recommended.
Her study reveals the assumptions we have made about what the story both says and doesn't say. She accomplishes this in articulate fashion that engages, informs, and entertains without being pedantic. Through the lens of modern cultural phenomena she lets us glimpse how the chronicle from the first chapters of Genesis touches our lives in ways we may not even be aware of....
Theresa Sanders...has blessed us with a commentary that is scholarly, contemporary, perceptive and often very funny. Approaching Eden traces the 'first sin' through centuries of theological speculation and 80 years of fiction, film and television.
Sanders's work is often fascinating and always suggestive in how it illuminates the connections between Gen 2-3 and popular cultural products.
Adam and Eve have become icons, pop stars. Their mythical presence emerges in The Simpsons, New Yorker cartoons, and Beech-Nut baby food advertisements. Approaching Eden is a delightfully serious romp through pop culture's religious unconscious.
Theresa Sanders' Approaching Eden gives us another adventure in Paradise with her fruitful analysis of the Adam and Eve biblical story within popular film and television. Ranging through drama to science fiction, horror to the Jesus genre and beyond, it is a veritable tree of knowledge. Her interfaith exploration of Genesis is an especially devilish delight.
Approaching Eden is without a doubt the most engaging and instructive book that I have read on reflections in popular culture of our foundational mythic text.
Approaching Eden is a gift to anyone attempting to bring faith and life closer in a world filled with mediated stories: in this case, tales and images influenced by the Biblical creation narrative of Genesis 1-3. Sanders is fearless in her critical analysis but never cavalier. Her prose is energetic and accessible; her surveys broad and her insights bold. Sanders makes theology a pleasure while enticing the reader to deeper theological scrutiny of accepted widely-held interpretations of Genesis through representations of Adam and Eve from movies to museums. Approaching Eden is an intellectual and spiritual delight.
