by Lawrence Stager, Harvard University


Lawrence Stager discusses biblical descriptions of several gardens, including the Garden of Eden. A description in the Book of Ezekiel locates the Garden of Eden close to Jerusalem. Taking his cue from Ezekiel, Stager postulates that the garden in the Valley of Kidron might be Eden. He tests this theory against passages in the Psalms, the Song of Songs and Genesis.

Lawrence Stager is Dorot Professor of the Archaeology of Israel and head of the Semitic Museum at Harvard University and has directed the Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon since 1985. Stager has authored several Biblical Archaeology Review articles, including "The Fury of Babylon: Ashkelon and the Archaeology of Destruction," in the January/February 1996 issue.
