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 Peyrere, Heleen Zorgdrager considers Adam and
Eve in the theology of Schleiermacher, Susanne Hennecke focuses on
Karl Barth and Luce Irigaray looking at Michelangelo's The
Creation, Anne-Marie Korte on the Genesis story in a feminist
theological perspective, Eric Ottenheijm on Eve and 'women's
commandments' in orthodox Judaism, and Karel Steenbrink on Muslim
interpretations of their story.
