Eve in Three Traditions and Literatures: Jadaism, Christianity, and Islam (Studies in Religion and Society)

By Mishael M. Caspi

This book revives the tradition of Eve in three traditions and literatures. The discussion of Islamic material is particularly valuable, since it examines the exchanges of ideas between early Islam and Judaism. It displays an amazing ability to uncover irony and sarcasm in ancient writings that have a profound implication for understanding ancient religion, and also examines contemporary references to Eve.
