Frontmatter -- TABLE OF CONTENTS -- Acknowledgement -- Prolegomenon -- The Mother of Life and the Infertility of Eden -- The Polarity of Wisdom and Fear of God in the Eden Narrative and in the Book of Proverbs -- Did Eve Know What was Hidden in the Apple? -- The Whore and the Wife -- The Death and Resurrection(s) of Eve: Reversing the Misfortunes of the Theios Aner and Other Dying and Rising Gods and Goddesses -- Eve in Eden
Summary: This anthology on Eve brings together an international group of scholars to discuss how this character has been interpreted by Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In a time when the history of women is being reassessed, it is natural that women look to the paradigmatic female figure. This treatment of Eve covers her wide range of roles as mother of our race, victim, stooge, wife, companion, independent thinker, and “helper”. A venerated figure by many modern feminists and a denigrated figure by those who blame her for original sin, no reader will leave these pages indifferent to the first woman.
