Echoes of Eden: Reflections on Christianity, Literature, and the Arts by Jerram Barrs

5.0

A great, easy read that was clever and enlightening. Barrs does a great job explaining the natural inclination all have of echoing Eden in our works. I appreciated how he took such well regarded works to show the reader how echoes of Eden provide the undercurrent of each storyline.

It’s clear that Barr’s loves and highly reveres the works of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, William Shakespeare, and Jane Austen. I’m glad that his love of these books came with not only great intellect and mindful thought but with humility as well.
