Session Four
More Than a Garden
God’s Earthly Abode
The Garden of Eden has been characterized many different ways in scripture and throughout ancient near eastern literature – Cosmic Garden, Holy Mountain of God, and the Garden of God are just a few.

In this session we will explore the language, concepts and imagery associated with the Garden of Eden as perceived by the ANE worldview.
