The Creation of Eve and the Expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise
(Manuscripts and Rare Books)
God populated the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve, whose forbidden taste of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge resulted in their expulsion. This intimate Christian prayer book would have aided the reader's meditation on the Fall of Man, the quest for salvation through Christ, and the ultimate return to Paradise (heaven).
