WHEN DID EVE SIN

Mehr zum Buch

When responding to the serpent's temptation to eat the forbidden fruit, Eve says that one "must not touch it" (Gen 3:2-3). In this , Eve appears to embellish upon God's clear command that one must not eat from the tree (Gen 2:17). Jeffrey J. Niehaus tackles this issue head on in When Did Eve Sin? Using Scripture to interpret Scripture and analyzing biblical stories where characters retell the narrative, Niehaus recognizes a common scriptural pattern that resolves the mystery of Eve's words. Everyone engaging with these questions will be defily guided by Niehaus's thorough study of this thorny issue. -- Back Cover.
