	Adam
		The Adam in the second and third chapters, according to this view, is the progenitor and representative of humanity, who brought misery into the world by self-will.
		In these Adam is said to have been made as a man-woman out of dust collected from every part of the earth; his head reached to heaven, and the splendour of his face surpassed the sun.
		On Adam's repentance, God pitied him, and had him taught the divine commandments by the archangel Gabriel; whereupon he was conducted to Arafat, a mountain near Mecca (138-3), and found Eve after a separation of 200 years.

	Adam
		Here evidently the adam or man of the Creation narrative is identified with a particular individual, and consequently the plural forms which might otherwise cause doubt are to be understood with reference to the first pair of human beings.
		The mention of Adam in Zacharias, xiii, 5, according to the Douay version and the Vulgate, is due to a mistranslation of the original.
		Thus the first Adam is a type of the second, but while the former transmits to his progeny a legacy of death, the latter, on the contrary, becomes the vivifying principle of restored righteousness.

	Adam in the New Testament - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		Adam is used by Paul as the founder of the race and the cause of the introduction of sin in order to point the comparison and contrast with Christ as the Head of the new race and the cause of righteousness.
		The last Adam became a life-giving spirit." The reference to Adam is from Genesis 2:7; the reference to Christ is due to the fact of what He had done and was doing in His manifestation as Divine Redeemer.
		In this verse He is called the "last" Adam, while in 1 Corinthians 15:47 the "second." In the former verse the apostle deals not so much with Christ's relation to the first Adam as to the part He takes in relation to humanity, and His work on its behalf.

	Adam and Eve - Crystalinks
		Adam and Eve were the first man and woman created by God according to the Bible and the Quran.
		The story of Adam and Eve forms the basis for the doctrine of original sin, a doctrine that is held as true by many branches of Christianity, but is not shared by the Orthodox or Congregationalist churches, nor by Judaism nor The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
		Teaching Adam the names reassures the angels as to Adam's abilities, though commentators dispute which particular names were involved; various theories say they were the names of all things animate and inanimate, the names of the angels, the names of his own descendants, or the names of God.

	Adam in the Old Testament - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		After the story of Adam is given as far as the birth of Cain and Abel (Genesis 4:1,2) and Seth (Genesis 4:25), the "book of the generations of Adam" begins at Genesis 5:1, and five verses are taken up with a statistical outline of his life, his offspring, and his 930 years of earthly existence.
		Here at Genesis 5:5, in the canonical books of the Old Testament almost all allusion to him ceases, and nothing whatever is made of his fateful relation to the sin and guilt of the race.
		In the So of Moses (Deuteronomy 32), in the clause Deuteronomy 32:8, "when he separated the children of men" (or "Adam"), the reference, which is to the distribution of races as given in Genesis 10, may or may not have Adam in mind.

	Testament of Adam (Syriac)
		The Testament of Adam is a good candidate for inclusion within the Pseudepigrapha because of its date and apparent Jewish character.

	Adam and Eve Summary
		And because Adam is both male and female according to scriptural authority, the qabbalists variously refer to a feminine aspect of the godhead that, like the feminine of the human world, must be reintegrated with its masculine counterpart through religious action and contemplation.
		The typologizing of Adam in Jewish tradition often focused on him as the prototype of humankind, and so the episode in Eden was read as exemplary or allegorical of the human condition and the propensity to sin.
		Adam ("Earth" or "Man", Standard Hebrew אָדָם, Adam; "Soil" or "Light Brown", Arabic آدم, Adam, አዳም (Adam) in Geez); and Eve (living one or life, Standard Hebrew חַוָּה, Arabic حواء, Ḥavva Hawwa, ሕይዋን (Hiywan) in Geez) were the first man and woman created by God according to the Bible and the Quran.

	Old Testament Greek Pseudepigrapha with Morphology
