Deepens and refreshes our view of early Christianity while casting a disturbing light on the evolution of the attitudes passed down to us. How did the early Christians come to believe that sex was inherently sinful? When did the Fall of Adam become synonymous with the fall of humanity? What turned Christianity from a dissident sect that championed the integrity of the individual and the idea of free will into the bulwark of a new imperial order--with the central belief that human beings cannot not choose to sin? In this provocative masterpiece of historical scholarship Elaine Pagels re-creates the controversies that racked the early church as it confronted the riddles of sexuality, freedom, and sin as embodied in the story of Genesis. And she shows how what was once heresy came to shape our own attitudes toward the body and the soul.

These actually work! I love them!
These socks actually work! I have struggled for so long to deal with dryness. I’m a big runner and workout every day and my feet get so dry and cracked and never have a chance to heal. After shower, I put neosporin on the areas that were really bad, and then put these socks on and went to bed. When I woke up in the morning it was like my feet were magically fixed! The only thing I will warn of, which isn’t a negative, is the size. I am a womens 9 1/2 shoe size. If my feet were any bigger then these socks would not fit comfortably. My heels would be coming out of them. Otherwise, they are soft, comfy, and definitely do the job!

Relaxing while watching RJ Decker with my gel socks on!
I love these gel socks. My feet get so messed up working in the yard and swimming in the pool. Just be careful not to slip. Wear while relaxing. Your feet will thank you!!
