The First Book of Adam and Eve

by Rutherford H. Platt

Overview

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.
