Testament of Adam

By Scriptural Research Institute

Release : 2019-11-05

Genre : Christianity, Books, Religion & Spirituality

Kind : ebook

(0 ratings)
The Testament of Adam is an early Christian work, which likely drew from older Jewish and Sethian sources. It has survived into the present in multiple languages including Greek, Syriac, Arabic, Karshuni, Ethiopic, Armenian, and Georgian. The original text was likely in Aramaic or Syriac, although Greek is also a possibility. The oldest surviving copy is from the 9th-century AD, however historians are confident that it influenced the 'Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan' and other early Christian works, as well as early Islamic works, and are therefore confident is dating it to the 2nd to 5th-centuries AD. The fact that it includes the prediction that the world was about to end in fire, dates is reasonably conclusively to the 2nd-century AD, when that belief was common among Christians.
