The Book of Adam

The Life of Adam and Eve, referred to in its Greek rendition as the Apocalypse of Moses (Ancient Greek: Ἀποκάλυψις Μωϋσέως, romanized: Apokalypsis Mōuseōs; Biblical Hebrew: ספר אדם וחוה), is a Jewish apocryphal gathering of works. It relates the existences of Adam and Eve from after their removal from the Garden of Eden to their demises. It gives more insight concerning the Fall of Man, including Eve's rendition of the story. Satan explains that he revolted when God directed him to do homage Adam. After Adam bites the dust, he and every one of his relatives are guaranteed a resurrection.

The ancient forms of the Life of Adam and Eve are: the Greek Apocalypse of Moses, the Latin Life of Adam and Eve, the Slavonic Life of Adam and Eve, the Armenian Penitence of Adam, the Georgian Book of Adam, and one or two fragmentary Coptic versions. These texts are typically named as Primary Adam Literature to recognize them from later related texts, for example, the Cave of Treasures, that incorporate what gives off an impression of being extracts, the Testament of Adam, and the Apocalypse of Adam.

They vary significantly in length and phrasing, however, generally give off an impression of being derived from a solitary source that has not survived. Every adaptation contains some special material along with varieties and oversights.

While the enduring renditions were formed from the mid third to the fifth century A.D., the scholarly units in the work are viewed as more established and prevalently of Jewish origins. There is wide understanding among researchers that the first was created in a Semitic language in the first century A.D.
