Adam and Eve in Romans 1.18–25 and the Greek Life of Adam and EveAn earlier version of this article was presented to members of the Pseudepigrapha and Christian Origins Seminar of the Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas. I am grateful to these colleagues for several provocative discussions, to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for providing generously for my participation in that meeting, to Johannes Tromp for making his critical edition of the Greek Life of Adam and Eve available prior to publication, as well as for rich communiqués over the past few years, and to Priscilla Pope-Levison for candid critique and clear-headed editorial advice.

Аннотация:
This study identifies several dimensions of the Greek Life of Adam and Eve that provide fresh points of entry to Paulʼs thought in Rom 1.18–25. Principal among these are the suppression of truth, the advent of divine anger, the onset of death, and, most notably, two related exchanges – Godʼs glory for mortality and natural dominion for unnatural subservience to animals. While such features do not specifically characterize Gen 1–3, they belong to a shared conception of the drama of human sin that characterizes and unites both Rom 1 and the Greek Life of Adam and Eve.
