______________

The symbolism of the story of Adam and Eve concerns how humans came to know good and evil, and why that knowledge is a burden. Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that we can learn most from the story by regarding it as a mythical yet realistic portrait of permanent truths about our humanity, rather than as a historical yet idealised portrait of a blissful existence we once enjoyed but lost.
