The Creation of Man and Woman: Interpretations of The Biblical Narratives in Jewish and Christian traditions
This
volume deals with the three stories about the creation of man and woman
in the Hebrew Bible (Genesis 1:26-27; 2:7; and 2:18-25) and with
diverse interpretations of these narratives in Judaism and Christianity,
particularly in ancient Jewish and Christian texts: Old Testament
Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, Philo, the apostle Paul, Patristic,
Rabbinic, and Gnostic texts. Other chapters are devoted to John Milton's
recreation of Eve and Adam, to a psycho-analytical reconsideration of
the biblical creation stories, and to divine creation as a model for
human creation in theatre and other art forms.
