This book provides the most thorough and systematic analysis of
early Jewish interpretations of Adam currently available. With
detailed exegesis Levison demonstrates that each early Jewish
author painted a unique portrait of Adam by utilizing Adam to
express a particular, preconceived theological Tendenz. This study
therefore displaces the notion that a unified Adam mythology
existed in early Judaism with the recognition that each author
readily adapted the early chapters of Genesis according to specific
needs and aims. Alongside an introduction which surveys studies of
early Jewish interpretations of Adam and studies on the Adam cycle,
this book contains analyses of all relevant passages from Sirach,
Wisdom of Solomon, Philo, Jubilees, Josephus, 4 Ezra, 2 Baruch,
Apocalypse of Moses and Vita Adae et Evae. This monograph is an
indispensable tool for both Old and New Testament studies,
providing a variety of early Jewish examples of biblical exegesis
from c. 200 BCE to 135 CE, as well as insight into the milieu
within which Paul and other early Christian writers formulated
their own unique interpretations of Adam.
