'''Eve & Adam: Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Readings on Genesis and Gender''' (1999) is a volume edited by [[Kristen E. Kvam]], [[Linda S. Schearing]], and [[Valarie H. Ziegler]]. 

==Abstract==

"No other text has affected women in the western world as much as the story of Eve and Adam. This remarkable anthology surveys more than 2,000 years of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim commentary and debate on the biblical story that continues to raise fundamental questions about what it means to be a man or to be a woman. The selections range widely from early postbiblical interpretations in the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha to the Qur’an, from Thomas Aquinas to medieval Jewish commentaries, from Christian texts to 19th-century antebellum slavery writings, and on to pieces written especially for this volume."--Publisher description.
