Here we encounter stories such as Adam and Eve's struggle to survive outside Paradise, Enoch’s journeys to the heavenly realm, and Christ’s descent into the underworld. The stories are part of the Orthodox Tradition, and are told again in this book for the Orthodox lay reader, translated from the original languages and introduced by Orthodox theologian and \u003cem\u003epsaltis\u003c\/em\u003e Nicholas Roumas. These seven stories will delight, fascinate, and disturb readers with their fairy-tale-like narrative power, bold theological reflections, and wild views on human life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nicholas Roumas is an Orthodox theologian, psaltis, and composer of liturgical music.

The themes and elements of these texts shed new light on the biblical text itself and on the Church’s tradition of interpretation of those texts. While many of these texts have been available before, this presentation, aimed at the general reader, is both accessible and accurate, making this book a unique opportunity for study.\" \u003cstrong\u003e-Fr.
