The story of Adam and Eve, ubiquitous in the art and literature of
the period, played a central role in the religious controversies of
sixteenth-century Europe. This is the first book to explore stories
about Adam and Eve in German Lutheran areas and to analyze their
place in Lutheran culture and identity. Kathleen Crowther examines
Lutheran versions of the story of Adam and Eve in bibles,
commentaries, devotional tracts, sermons, plays, poems, medical and
natural history texts, and woodcut images. Her research identifies
how Lutheran storytellers differentiated their unique versions of
the story from those of their medieval predecessors and their
Catholic and Calvinist contemporaries. She also explores the appeal
of the story of Adam and Eve to Lutherans as a means to define,
defend and disseminate their distinctive views on human nature,
original sin, salvation, marriage, family, gender relations and
social order.
