The story of Adam and Eve is scientifically unsound and fictitious at the surface. Below the surface, however, it is spiritually relevant and profound.

In this video, host Curtis Childs from the Swedenborg Foundation and featured guests use 18th-century philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg’s spiritual exploration of the inner meaning of the Bible to shed new light on the Adam and Eve narrative. When interpreted symbolically, the story has profound meaning for our lives today and points to a deeper connection between the physical and spiritual worlds in the future.
