The Biblical story of Eden is one of innocence, suffering, estrangement, displacement, self-consciousness, awakening, and separation. But it is also a story of hope, about the gaining wisdom and self-knowledge. It is about the costs of maturation and a reckoning with our own mortality. In The First Family, author Bruce Chilton presents a vision of a near, knowable Eden, an Eden that may have been damaged but is not lost.

Bruce Chilton is one of the foremost scholars in the world of early Christianity and Judaism. He wrote the first critical translation of and commentary for the Aramaic version of Isaiah (The Isaiah Targum). His other principal publications include: Rabbi Jesus: An Intimate Biography; Rabbi Paul: An Intellectual Biography; Mary Magdalene: A Biography. The first Lillian Claus Professor of New Testament at Yale University, Chilton is currently Bernard Iddings Bell Professor of Philosophy & Religion at Bard College and Director of the Institute for Advanced Theology.
