For those curious about Adam and Eve's stories.

"Out of Paradise" reveals their lasting impact today.

You’ll deepen your faith and understanding of origins.

Discover the fascinating afterlives of Adam and Eve in "Out of Paradise," where eleven scholars explore their evolving roles in Christian, Jewish, and Muslim traditions.

This volume explores the afterlives of Eve and Adam beyond the Genesis story. How did they become such a prominent part of mainstream Christian thought and theology-and Jewish and Muslim tradition as well-, and what forms did their story take as it was told and retold? To investigate the traces of Eve and Adam through the centuries is to discover a surprising variety of interpretations. The chapters of this book come from eleven European scholars. Bob Becking writes on how the identity of the primaeval couple is constructed in Genesis, Geert van Oyen on Eve as a character in the New Testament, Willemien Otten on Adam and Eve in Augustine, Harm Goris on them in Aquinas, Theo Bell on them in Luther. Willem van Asselt examines the Pre-Adamites in the theology of Isaac La Peyr
