For centuries, some readers of Genesis have blamed Eve for the evils of the world because she ate the forbidden fruit in Eden. But Latter-day Saint scripture opens the way for different views, including seeing Eve's decision as visionary and courageous.

In this episode Dr.'s Amy Easton-Flake and Mark Ellison expand our understanding of Eve.
