A Book Review:Rated 5/5 Stars - it was amazing"...the scriptural story of the Fall is primarily designed to teach us about ourselves." "Adam... is Everyman and therefore Representative Man. He is the representative of both our original parents and of all humankind." "We are to see the story of the Fall as the story of our fall." I wish I had read this book many years ago, before I went to the LDS temple. Of course it wasn't published until 2013, but now that we have it, I think this book should be taught as part of temple prep. Gaskill exhaustively documents (hundreds and hundreds of citations) the symbolism and meaning of the Fall. I've never understood WHY this story was so important until I read this book. Of course, I learned years ago why Eve's choice was misunderstood, but now I feel like I understand her place in history so much better. I also gained greater insight into Christ's role and the compassion and love permeating the story, and our mortal experience. My particularly favorite concept he explored was why we try to find happiness without God, and what the results are. He quotes CS Lewis: "What Satan put into the heads of our remote ancestors was the idea that they could ‘be like gods’—could set up on their own as if they had created themselves—be their own masters—invent some sort of happiness for themselves outside God, apart from God. And out of that hopeless attempt has come nearly all that we call human history—money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery—the long, terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.” This is not a book to be read in one sitting. It is one to be read, pondered, and then read some more. It is a staggering amount of information and insight. Highly recommended.--Tiffany Dominguez Copyright © 2018-2024 TDM Inc.
