The Garden of Eden: Creation and Catholicism

Psychology

The Garden of Eden in the Book of Genesis 1-3 is the sacred narrative of the creation of the world, the man and the original sin. The Paradise is the primal mystic ground for Catholicism latent with the seeds of spirituality: the Garden of Eden, apparently closed, has opened the complexities of consciousness and still blooms in manifold aspects in the life of the faithful. The paper revisits the Biblical myth to understand the configuration of the world, unearth the roots of Catholic religion and, on the personal level, the consciousness regulated by the sacramental life, which goes back to the symbolic events in the Garden of Eden, as creation is continually manifests in the believer.
