Prologue
The First Book of Adam and Eve details the life and times of Adam and
Eve after they were expelled from the garden to the time that Cain
kills his brother Abel. It tells of Adam and Eve's first dwelling--the
Cave of Treasures; their trials and temptations; Satan's many
apparitions to them; the birth of Cain, Abel, and their twin sisters;
and Cain's love for his beautiful twin sister, Luluwa, whom Adam and
Eve wished to join to Abel.
This book is considered by many scholars to be part of the
"Pseudepigrapha" (soo-duh-pig-ruh-fuh). The "Pseudepigrapha" is a
collection of historical biblical works that are considered to be
fiction. Because of that stigma, this book was not included in the
compilation of the Holy Bible. This book is a written history of what
happened in the days of Adam and Eve after they were cast out of the
garden. Although considered to be pseudepigraphic by some, it carries
significant meaning and insight into events of that time. It is
doubtful that these writings could have survived all the many centuries
if there were no substance to them.
This book is simply a version of an account handed down by word of
mouth, from generation to generation, linkin
