New York Times bestselling author Bruce Feiler insists that Adam and Eve, the first couple of the Bible, introduced the idea of “love” to the world.
“They are the first to grapple, sometimes successfully, sometimes not,” he explains to In Conversation host Valerie Jackson, “with the central mystery of being alive, which is to be un-alone.”
Feiler’s latest book is “The First Love Story: Adam, Eve, And Us.” In it, he journeys across four continents and 4,000 years exploring how Adam and Eve introduced the idea of love into the world, and how they continue to shape our deepest feelings about relationships, togetherness, and social cohesion.
