EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th-century illustration, taken from the Thomas Bankes Bible, depicts the pivotal moment in the biblical story of the Fall of Man. In the Garden of Eden, the serpent, not visible in this image, has deceived Eve into believing that the fruit from the forbidden tree would grant her and Adam knowledge equal to that of God. With a tender yet enticing expression, Eve offers the fruit to her unsuspecting husband, Adam, who stands before her, oblivious to the impending consequences of their actions. The idyllic setting of the garden, with its lush foliage and vibrant colors, serves as a stark contrast to the sin that is about to transpire. The intricate details of the illustration, from the delicate veins on the leaves to the textured bark of the tree, underscore the beauty and complexity of the world that God had created, a world that would forever be altered by this act of disobedience. This poignant image invites us to reflect on the consequences of temptation and the importance of making choices that honor the divine wisdom and guidance that is available to us.
