The Books of Adam and Eve

Adam and Eve, according to the creation myths of the Abrahamic religions, were the first man and woman. The story of Adam and Eve is central to the belief that God created human beings to live in a Paradise on earth, although they fell away from that state and formed the present world full of suffering and injustice. It provides the basis for the belief that humanity is in essence a single family, with everyone descended from a single pair of original ancestors.It also provides much of the scriptural basis for the doctrines of the Fall and Original Sin, important beliefs in Christianity, although not generally shared by Judaism.
