Eve: Between Sin and Promise

Was Eve a seductress, a victim, or an archetype of humanity?

Eve was the first woman — and also one of the most debated figures in religious history.

Across centuries, she has been portrayed as a temptress, the cause of humanity’s fall, a symbol of disobedience, or a universal archetype. But do these interpretations truly reflect what the biblical text says?

This book offers a careful and methodical exploration of the Genesis narrative, examining the Hebrew text, ancient translations, and the ways Eve has been understood within Jewish, Christian, and ancient traditions. Rather than offering simplistic conclusions, the author traces how layers of interpretation shaped Eve’s image over time.

Written for readers interested in the Bible, theology, religious history, and textual interpretation, this work invites thoughtful engagement with a question that has remained unresolved for millennia.
