What if our deepest struggles with sin and addiction are embedded in our very biology—and yet, so is the hope for redemption? Genes of Eden explores the profound connection between theology and science, uncovering how the ancient doctrine of original sin aligns with the current science of epigenetics. Through vivid storytelling and thoughtful analysis, this groundbreaking book investigates how inherited patterns of trauma, addiction, and behavior are more than personal struggles, but transgenerational heritages encoded in our very genes. Yet this isn’t a story of despair. Drawing on the timeless wisdom of Augustine and Kierkegaard, alongside the cutting edge of biology, Genes of Eden offers a powerful, hope-filled perspective on human brokenness. Are we prisoners of our past, or can grace and renewal reshape not only our lives but even the biology we pass on? Whether you’re a theologian, scientist, or someone wrestling with big questions about faith, heredity, or healing, Genes of Eden will challenge and inspire you. By weaving together the truths of theology and the discoveries of science, it offers a vision of redemption that reaches beyond biology to touch the very soul.
