The Garden of Eden (from Hebrew גַּן עֵדֶן ) is described in the Book of Genesis as being the place where the first man, Adam, and his wife, Eve, lived after they were created by God. This garden forms part of the creation story and theodicy of the Abrahamic religions.

The creation story in Genesis relates the geographical location of both Eden and the garden to four rivers (Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, Euphrates), and three regions (Havilah, Assyria, and Cush [often translated as Ethiopia] ). Eden's location remains the subject of controversy and speculation. There are hypotheses that locate Eden at the headwaters of the Tigris and Euphrates, in Mesopotamia, Africa, and the Persian Gulf, among others.

The phrase "Garden of Eden" is often used to describe any peaceful place, or a state of perfect happiness or bliss.

The Garden of Eden is the second posthumously released novel of Ernest Hemingway, published in 1986.

But truth, like true love, will not be kept secret long. Written by Jim Beaver
