219 Words1 Pages
An analysis of the story of Adam and Eve in books 1-4 of the Genesis in the Hebrew bible reveal that God really threw the book at them. God made an example of Adam and Eve for being disobedient and easily tempted in eating the fruit, even though the serpent was the true mastermind of the crime. In the Genesis, the serpent must have had legs because God cursed The serpents by taking his legs away and tell him that he would have to crawl on his belly for the rest of his life, Adams curse was he was going to have to work hard for food, and Eves curse was to suffer painful childbirth and must submit to her husband’s authority. Also all three were banished from Eden . In Eden, they had everything they could have needed to survive but now because

Something I did not see earlier was Eve was deceived (she was never given the command from God not to eat of the tree, Adam was before she was created. See Gen. 2:16-17). Adam was openly disobedient and blatantly blamed God and Eve. “The man said, ‘The woman whom You gave to be with me (Blame!), she gave me from the tree, and I ate (Adam’s rationalization)’” (Gen 3:12, NASB).

Expulsion. The pain and suffering that accompanies it. Nobody wants to be excluded, but what if it’s the difference between quenching your curiosity and remaining ignorant? In both the Biblical story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and in the dystopian novella Anthem, by Ayn Rand, the protagonists are faced with this predicament. Their actions come with immense consequences which forever change not only their own life, but that of the human race.

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty” (Maya Angelou). Often to achieve great literature, another inspirational work must be warped and altered so that it may evolve into another piece to be cherished for years to come. In order to achieve the East of Eden, John Steinbeck transformed the Biblical accounts of Adam and Eve and their sons, Cain and Abel, into a modern telling of the good and evil found in most people. Steinbeck reincarnates the family of Adam and Eve through multiple characters, demonstrating that both their failures and triumphs are in almost all people, but their destiny is controlled by their own individual decisions. Steinbeck illustrates Adam

The story of Adam and Eve is quite similar until “the fall” of mankind occurs. It is around this point that the story starts to differ, as it appears in the story of Enkidu that there were other human inhabitants on the earth, while Adam and Eve are the first humans to be created in according to the Biblical account. However, another similarity can be drawn between the facts that the harlot in Enkidu’s story was the one to entice him, while Eve was also the one that the serpent used to entice Adam in Genesis. As stated earlier, there were many parts of the story that were quite different from the story of Adam and Eve, but drawing the comparison between the two helped me to flesh out some of the plot of the story of

Religious Iconography Analysis “Creation and Temptation of Adam and Eve” by Wiligelmo Throughout decades, religious iconography has become a unique language of art, confound into religious art pieces to convey a deep implicit meaning of depicted objects. The term “icon” came from a Greek word, meaning image. An icon was originally a picture of Christ on a panel used as an object of devotion in the orthodox Greek Church from at least the seventh century on. Hence the term icon has come to be attached to any object or image that is outstanding or has a special meaning attached to it (Tate, n.d.).

The story of Adam and Eve serves as a tale on how mankind and womankind were created and placed on Earth. The story takes place in the Garden of Eden, and because the woman was deceived by the Serpent, both the women and the man were cast down to earth. The Serpent deceived the women by allowing her to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree, as she also influenced the man, God punished both. “Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.” (Genesis 3:16 NIV) and that He allowed “Adam (to) named his wife Eve” (Genesis 3:20 NIV).

Genesis chapter 1 explains that humans are created in the image of God. Knight (2006) expands upon this idea by explaining that the mental, spiritual and physical identity of humans were inherited at creation from His image, and thereby possess some of His traits, such as love and rationality. Knight clarifies that, after the fall, humanity changed and the image we possess from the creator was corrupted but not completely distorted; humans still have the image, though incompletely expressed, of the heavenly creator. With the thought that humanity has love and rationality we can examine the similarities between Christian philosophy and the reconstructionist philosophy. Ozmon (2012) and Cohen (1999) agree that reconstructionism can be
