One way might be a quest for an "earthly paradise"– a place like Shangri-La, hidden in the Tibetan mountains and described by James Hilton in his utopian novel Lost Horizon (1933). Christopher Columbus followed directly in this tradition in his belief that he had found the Garden of Eden when, towards the end of the 15th century, he first encountered the New World and its indigenous inhabitants. [ citation needed] The Peach Blossom Spring [ edit ] According to the exegesis that the biblical theologian Herbert Haag proposes in the book Is original sin in Scripture?, [39] published soon after the Second Vatican Council, Genesis 2:25 would indicate that Adam and Eve were created from the beginning naked of the divine grace, an originary grace that, then, they would never have had and even less would have lost due to the subsequent events narrated. [40] On the other hand, while supporting a continuity in the Bible about the absence of preternatural gifts ( Latin: dona praeternaturalia) [41] with regard to the ophitic event, Haag never makes any reference to the discontinuity of the loss of access to the tree of life.

The word utopia was coined in 1516 from Ancient Greek by the Englishman Sir Thomas More for his Latin text Utopia. It literally translates as “no place”, coming from the Greek: οὐ (“not”) and τόπος (“place”), and meant any non-existent society, when ‘described in considerable detail’. [4] However, in standard usage, the word's meaning has shifted and now usually describes a non-existent society that is intended to be viewed as considerably better than contemporary society.
