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.

Make sure you review the details of these pants as they are slim fit and not regular.

Ridiculous Price for Mid Quality
Size: 30W x 30L, Color: Khaki
Ridiculous price for such average material. Wrinkles and creases the second you put them on. I got these because they’re the exact color I want and for som reason it’s hard to find.

Defective MK products sold here
Size: 33W x 30L, Color: Khaki
I ordered smoke grey and the seams never lined up. I could not manage to iron these pants. It appears like they are selling the defective MK products on Amazon. Returned mine.

Great watch - looks good and keeps good time
I love this thing. Good for a big wrist. Lume holds well and the blue lume looks awesome with the white/blue theme. Holds writhing a couple seconds (2-5) per day, which is pretty excellent at this price point. Would recommend.
