NEW YORK---If the story of the "Garden of Eden" is such a common cultural reference point, what more can be said about it? Plenty, at least judging by a new exhibit at the Museum of Biblical Art, which is affiliated with the American Bible Society. The famed narrative of Eden in the Book of Genesis has been the subject of “New Yorker cartoon after New Yorker cartoon,” said guest curator Jennifer Scanlan, noting the enduring power of the Eden narrative. “It shows a new direction,” said Scanlan, noting the new pieces have changed perspectives “about what a museum of biblical art can be.” [link]
