Description
Eve is a bold, unprecedented exploration of the Creation narrative, true to the original texts and centuries of scholarship—yet with breathtaking discoveries that challenge traditional beliefs about who we are and how we’re made. Eve opens a refreshing conversation about the equality of men and women within the context of our beginnings, helping us see each other as our Creator does—complete, unique, and not constrained by cultural rules or limitations.
When a shipping container washes ashore on an island between our world and the next, John the Collector finds a young woman inside—broken, frozen, and barely alive. With the aid of Healers and Scholars, John oversees her recovery and soon discovers that her genetic code connects her to every known race. No one would guess what her survival will mean…
No one but Eve, Mother of the Living, who calls her “daughter” and invites her to witness the truth about her own story—indeed, the truth about us all.
As The Shack awakened readers to a personal, non-religious understanding of God, Eve will free us from faulty interpretations that have corrupted human relationships since the Garden of Eden.
Thoroughly researched and exquisitely written, Eve is a masterpiece that will inspire readers for generations to come.
Advance Praise
“By turns emotional, inspiring, and filled to overflowing with grace, Eve is exactly the engaging, challenging story you would expect from the author of The Shack. Wm. Paul Young offers a transformative view of God that transcends gender and culture: highly recommended to everyone with Post-Traumatic Church Syndrome--and to any and all who seek the uninhibited Light and Love of our Creator.”
—Reba Riley, author of Post-Traumatic Church Syndrome
“The writing is stunningly beautiful, offering an evocative, challenging look at our view of God and the Creation narrative. Young’s latest will certainly pique the interest of established fans as well as generate controversy.”
—Publishers Weekly
“As a caregiver, and one who has been blessed by Rauch to witness and walk the journey of healing with others, the arc of Lilly’s story will resonate and guide healing relationships for many women and men. But, wow, the breadth of rich, relational, other-centered, loving theology accessible in Eve is staggering. No idea where God will take this but it is sure to be quite a ride.”
—Brad Robison M.D., Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatry, Marriage and Family Therapy
“When the imagination of the Holy Spirit finds a place in the shattered human heart, the ancient, uncreated light forms a sacrament in the land of shadows. Such is Eve. Here is a brilliant, enthralling story, beautifully written, yet one that astonishes and begs a thousand questions. Eve is about creation and history, and in the hallowed space of this tale the redemptive genius shines breathtaking possibilities for a new world—Apostolic.”
—C. Baxter Kruger, Ph.D., author of The Shack Revisited and Patmos
