Paperback. Condizione: New. Meet Rob: he's always wanted to be a dad, but when he and his wife decide to start trying for a family, it doesn't go smoothly or quickly. Already in their early forties, they never imagined it would take seven years until their son came home with them.This is the story of a dad who found himself navigating the path to fatherhood via adoption, and everything it took for him (and his writer wife Eve) to get there in the end. Emerging from the disappointment of failed fertility treatment into the new and unknown territory of applying to be approved as adopters - still a million miles away, it felt, from becoming a parent to a child - Rob shares the story of all the ups and downs, the delays and restarts, and the multitude of people he met along the way who helped to get him to the final reward: becoming a dad to their miraculous son Marcus.This is a story of one parent's navigation of it all. It's not trying to be a 'how to' or a manual of terms and stages; it's simply an account of one family's journey, written for an audience of people who are interested in how they finally got there.…

Synopsis: How did it happen that Christlan tradition came to find sexual desire sinful and to claim that infants, from the moment of conception, are infected with the disease of original sin, that Adam's sin corrupted the whole of nature, which until that point had known neither death nor labor nor suffering? How did it happen that the Christian church, which also proclaims the infinite value of each individual and celebrates the moral freedom of all its members, came by the middle of the fourth century to insist that humankind~made in God's image~cannot choose not to sin? This great paradox at the heart of Christian, and therefore Western, tradition is the subject of Elaine Pagels's briiliant new book, Adam, Eve, and the Serpent, a work that will prove a landmark of htstorical thought and profoundly affect all future interpretations of the historical meaning of Christianity. The attitudes and values we associate with Christian tradition, particularly attitudes toward sexual matters, evolved in Western culture at a specific time ~during the first four centuries of the common era, when the Christian movement, which had begun as a defiant sect, transformed itself into the religion of the Roman Empire. These attitudes had not previously existed in the Christian form they eventually took, and they represented a departure from both pagan practices and Jewish tradition. Within a century of Jesus and Paul, the Christian churches, though widely divided on questions of practice and belief, all agreed that Christians must reject the Roman gods and refuse to reverence the emperors, who ruled in their name, For many of the leaders of the early church, freedom was the practical message of the gospel: freedom in its many forms, including freedom from tyrannical government, freedom from prevailing social and sexual customs, freedom from sexual desire, and freedom of the will ~ that is, self~mastery as a means to spiritual renewal. For almost three hundred years, Christianity prospered and grew as an illegal sect whose members increasingly reflected the diverse interests of an ever more complex population. By the fourth century, as the Christian movement became more powerful, the emperor Constantine reversed the long~standing policy of persecution and himself became a Christian. In the century following these momentous conversions ~of Constantine to Christianity and the church to a respected imperial institution~Christian teaching itself underwent a revolutionary change from a doctrine that celebrated human freedom to one that emphasized the universal bondage of original sin. It is this profoundly consequential transformation that is the subject of Elaine Pagels's monumental book.
