Though it may not have been the intent of Genesis 1-3, the biblical first couple has
been used for generations to sell consumable goods and strange ideologies both salacious
and holy to willing Western masses. And, Linda Schearing and Valarie Ziegler argue,
Adam and Eve have become archetypal figures for secular and religious society alike
as they are transplanted from their ancient garden to a more modern Eden, often with
eyebrow-raising consequences. Finding common ground between both religious and secular
recastings of Adam and Eve, Schearing and Ziegler offer page-turning evidence of just
how ubiquitous the first couple has become. From on-line dating services and promises
of God-ordained romance to the advertising and selling of games, bathroom fixtures,
and even risque bloomers, Adam and Eve are a hot commodity in modern culture. These
strange, confusing, often humorous, and sometimes shocking accounts testify to the
myriad of ways in which Genesis 1-3 has been recycled and recreated in the popular
imagination, and moreover, in promotion of the Western world-view
