John Walton, who has written a thing or two about Genesis 2-3, has offered a helpful review of Ziony Zevit's fascinating book, What Really Happened in the Garden of Eden? (Yale, 2013). Walton shows great appreciation for Zevit's insights, while noting a few points where Zevit's arguments are less convincing. Walton concludes by saying:
Opening up a book that proposes such a vast menu of fresh readings and resulting paradigm shifts should never foster the expectation that the reader will find agreement with every suggestion. Engagement with new ideas is invigorating in itself—the proverbial recognition that the journey may have intrinsic significance regardless of the destination. Zevit has provided a truly stunning journey that can make a contribution to our reading of the garden story even if we end up at different destinations.
