Eden has two bookstores, kind of confusing, we know! Eden has a physical bookstore located on campus where course books, merchandise, and progressive Christian literature are available. Eden’s online bookstore is where we recommend students purchase their course materials; it’s online and Eden receives a small commission! Further questions? You can direct them toward the Theological Librarian/Archivist and Bookstore Manager, Scott Holl.
