First Book of Adam and Eve

Rutherford Platt

Book Overview: 

The Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan is a Christian pseudepigraphical work found in Ge’ez, translated from an Arabic original and thought to date from the 5th or 6th century AD. It was first translated from the Ethiopic version into German by August Dillmann. It was first translated into English by S. C. Malan from the German of Ernest Trumpp. The first half of Malan’s translation is included as the “First Book of Adam and Eve” and the “Second Book of Adam and Eve” in The Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden. Books 1 and 2 begin immediately after the expulsion from the Garden of Eden and end with the testament and translation of Enoch. Great emphasis is placed in Book 1 on Adam’s sorrow and helplessness in the world outside the garden. (Summary by Wikipedia)

2 "O Adam, so long as the good angel was obedient to Me, a bright light rested on him and on his hosts.

3 But when he transgressed My commandment, I deprived him of that bright nature, and he became dark.

4 And when he was in the heavens, in the realms of light, he knew nothing of darkness.

5 But he transgressed, and I made him fall from the heaven onto the earth; and it was this darkness that came over him.

6 And on you, O Adam, while in My garden and obedient to Me, did that bright light rest also.

7 But when I heard of your transgression, I deprived you of that bright light. Yet, of My mercy, I did not turn you into darkness, but I made you your body of flesh, over which I spread this skin, in order that it may bear cold and heat.

8 If I had let My wrath fall heavily on you, I should have destroyed you; and had I turned you into darkness, it would have b. . . Read More

A detailed insight of the livelihood of Adam and Eve and their descendants.

My first thought instantly after finishing this book is;
WHY DID IT GET TAKEN OUT of the King James version?

I have two reasons, the main one being that it points out that the Jews were going to be against Jesus Christ.

I thought the Goodreads reviewers were exaggerating when they lambasted the couple, I thought there’s no way I could lose more respect for people who, for at best dubious reasons, violates a simple rule set by the omnipotent. I was wrong… I thought Paradise Lost’s Adam was bad, but at least he had s

A Fuller Story of the First Humans

This take is similar in theme, but different in details, from the story I was taught in Catholic school as a young child. It was I interesting to read and to contemplate the differences and odd revelations of things that did not seem to exist during those times on E

A important read to anyone seeking to gain additional information pertaining to both Adam,Eve,the serpent and the first offspring of Adam and Eve. Never assume because light is shined so abundantly on one version of a great story that it alone is true. I enjoyed how human they became once they left

The story of genesis after Adam and Eve fell from the garden of Eden. It includes the story of the first few hundred days up to the story of Cain and Abel where Cain kills his brother. Its a completely different read if you take the story literally than metaphorically.

If you read it metaphorically,

I love reading apocryphal literature, especially relating to creation, Cave of Treasures etc. and this was most enjoyable.

This is truly one of the forgotten books of EDEN. The life of Adam and Eve after they were expelled from Eden. Very nice and good. Even my christian friends doesn't know about these books.

Interesting in that this is a very early example of Christian fiction, perhaps as such it exposes some of the legends and ideas that early believers held to. But,I thought it was bleak and although I am sure that Adam and Eve had tremendous regret, I don't imagine they were as weak and helpless and
