Books of Adam and Eve
The Creation and The Fall The first two stories are from the Bible in King James Version. It tells of the creation of heaven and earth. It accounts the creation of all things including man. It also tells the story of how Adam and Eve disobey God by eating from the tree of knowledge.
The Ideal Man The third story is told from a Jewish perspective on the creation of man. It also refers to other significant men throughout Jewish history that share similar characteristics as Adam such as Samson and his tremendous strength.
The Fall of Satan The fourth story tells of the fall of Satan. Satan does not like that God wants him and the other angels to pay homage to the man, Adam, that he has created from dust. He feels that he is superior to humans. God strikes a deal with Satan asking him to name the animals he bring before him, and if he is unable to do so and Adam is able to, then he must honor man. Satan is unable to name the animals correctly and is cast out of heaven to earth.
Lilith The 5th story tells of Adams first wife, Lilith. Before Eve, God gave Adam Lilith so he would not be alone on earth, but she did not want to be with him.
