Publisher's Synopsis
The First Book of Adam and Eve by Rutherford H. Platt is a captivating work that forms part of the larger text titled The Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan, a sixth-century Christian extracanonical piece originally written in the ancient South Semitic language of Ge'ez. This apocryphal narrative provides a detailed account of the lives of Adam and Eve after their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. The story follows their struggles and experiences as they settle into their new home in the Cave of Treasures, encountering trials, temptations, and visions of Satan along the way.
The text also chronicles the birth of their children, leading up to the tragic event of Cain killing his brother Abel. Though considered pseudepigraphic, The First Book of Adam and Eve is an enduring and significant piece of apocryphal literature, offering readers a unique and ancient perspective on the early days of humanity. This edition is taken from Platt's The Forgotten Books of Eden, ensuring its survival and accessibility for modern audiences interested in religious history and ancient scriptures.
