Summary "The Garden of Eden: Stories from the First Nine Books of the Old Testament" by George Hodges is a collection of illustrated stories written in the early 20th century. This work retells foundational narratives from the Old Testament, particularly those involving creation, the patriarchs, and early Israelite history, making these themes accessible for younger readers. The stories aim to convey moral lessons and the significance of faith in God through vivid and engaging storytelling. At the start of the collection, the author introduces the creation story from the perspective of children who question the origins of the world. Describing the process of creation over six days, Hodges illustrates how God made the heavens and the earth, culminating in the creation of man and woman, Adam and Eve, in the Garden of Eden. The narrative quickly transitions to focus on their temptation by the serpent and subsequent disobedience, leading to their expulsion from paradise. This opening sets the tone for exploring themes of innocence, temptation, and the impact of human choice, ensuring readers are drawn into the rich tapestry of biblical history that follows.
