by Antti Laato (Editor), Lotta Valve (Editor)

In August 2014, a conference was organized in Turku with the topic "Where are you, Adam? A New Understanding of Adam in Jewish-Christian-Muslim Context." The conference was a part of a research project that was funded by the Academy of Finland during the years 2013-2017. Almost 30 papers were presented in the conference and they, together with two other papers, are published in the volumes SRB 7 and 8. This volume, SRB 8--The Adam and Eve Story in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic Perspectives-- consists of the papers that are related to the interpretation of the Adam and Eve story in patristic, rabbinical, Islamic, medieval and later Jewish and modern texts.
