Abstract (en)

Examines in detail the character and activity of Eve in the Temptation and Fall as a way of understanding why her creation--and not that of Adam--should serve as the focus of the entire history and as the centerpiece of the three creation and fall of mankind scenes. Interprets the iconography within a theological context.
