The Book of Adam and Eve, an apocryphal text from late antiquity (3rd–5th centuries CE), expands upon the biblical account of Adam and Eve's post-Eden lives. Existing in various ancient languages (Syriac, Ethiopic, Arabic, Greek), it explores their suffering, repentance, and eventual redemption, often incorporating Messianic prophecies. The text’s theological significance lies in its examination of human nature, the battle against evil (Satan), and the promise of divine mercy. Its influence is seen in Christian art, literature, and theological interpretations of original sin and salvation, particularly within Syriac and Ethiopic traditions. The work's detailed narratives offer valuable insights into the cultural and religious beliefs of early Christians.
