Annotated Bibliography for Works on Satan and Adam, and Eve
Research Question: Why Satan try to Make Thing go Wrong
between Adam and Eve?
Malan, Solomon C. The Book of Adam and Eve: Also Called the
Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan, a Book of the Early
Eastern Church Translated from the Ethiopic, with Notes from
the Kufale, Talmud, Midrashim, and Other Eastern Works.
London: Williams and Norgate, 2009. Print.
The encounter of Adam and Eve and Satan was not a one day
encounter. Malan Solomon in this work illustrates this point.
According to them the Devil, before tricking them, looked for
them, concerning causing them to disobey The Lord in various
ways. In this work, The Book of Adam and Eve: Also Called the
Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan, Malan Solomon make
endeavors to give an account of the encounter between Satan
and the first human beings, which they describes as the conflict
of Adam and Eve, and Satan. This work also mentions the
relationship of God with Satan at this time when Adam and Eve
were tricked into disobedience.
Malan Solomon is vivid in the way he communicates his ideas
in this work. His explanation is not only logic but also authentic
as its based on the examples from the Bible and other related
works, and also aligns with their ideas. As such, the work is not
only valid but also relevant in this context.

3. Anderson, Gary A, Michael E. Stone, and Johannes Tromp.
Literature on Adam and Eve: Collected Essays. Leiden: Brill,
2000. Internet resource.
For many centuries, the acts and destinies of the first-created
human beings, Adam and Eve, have intrigued artists, story-
tellers and theologians alike. This resource is a collection of
works on the acts and destinies of the first God-created humans,
Adam and Eve, written by some of the grandmaster scholars in
the field. The volume is made up of two parts. The first portions
engrosses the works of G.A. Anderson and M.E. Stone, close
confederates, who for years, have concerted several studies on
the affluent variety of the traditions of Adam and Eve,
commencing with the "Life of Adam and Eve" forwards to the
late medieval writings in Armenian. Edited by Johannes Tromp,
the second part consists of papers read at the 1998 Leiden
Symposium, and more particularly concentrates on the "Life of
Adam and Eve" and their later encounter with Satan.
The validity of this volume lies in the fact that it holds accounts
from various works of diverse authors. The fact that all these
materials communicates almost the same voice about the
encounter of Satan and Adam, and Eve puts this volume
alongside truth as it communicates the Bible.
Forsyth, Neil. The Old Enemy: Satan and the Combat Myth.
New Jersey: Princeton University Press, 1989. Print.
This work cites Satan as the Old Enemy of humanity (Adam and
Eve), and all the human generations. As such, the book is a
story of the enmity of Satan and Adam and Eve, and the entire
human race. It narrates how the conflict set in and the reasons,
how it fared on and its consequences. Forsyth Neil calls this
entire account, ‘the Combat Myth.’
Forsyth in the work is successful in bringing out the conflict
between Satan and the first humans. He successfully explains
the encounter using the narrations and examples from the Bible
accounts. Especially with the use of examples from the Bible,
;The Old Enemy: Satan and the Combat Myth; is brought out as
valid and appropriate.

4. Flaxman, Vivien. "'the Flight of Satan from Paradise' and 'adam
and Eve': John Flaxman's Last Works?" The Burlington
Magazine / Ed. Benedict Nicolson. (1980): 687-690. Print.
Flaxman Vivien, in this work talks about how Satan came to be,
that is, evil and ceased from dwelling in heaven with God and
other Angels and landed on Earth. In the work, Flaxman Vivien
gives insights on the reasons that saw Satan come down to
earth. The trick he played on Adam and Eve is one reason for
this course, obviously and the main one in fact. On this case,
Flexman also narrates the rationale, which led Satan to tricking
the first human beings, Adam and Eve.
Flaxman’s drawing of illustrations and examples from the Bible
and other related sources sits at the basis of his work’s
relevance. The work is also easy to understand as it is an
account of events, which flows from one to the other.
Thesis
The thesis of this paper is based on its research question, ‘Why
Satan try to make thing go wrong between Adam and Eve?’
Other than the above resources, even the Bible does not
explicitly answer the papers’ research question. As such, we
should declare that the answer to the question does not
explicitly come from the Scriptures but are the results of our
observations and the interpretation of these observations. In the
bibliographies above, Milan (102) hints that the source of
Satan’ encounter with Adam and Eve was the fall of his
relationship with God and Forsyth, (86) acknowledges the point.
As Flexman, (201) writes, Satan wanted to have equal powers
with God, hence an attempt to overthrow Him. The ‘Literature
of Adam and Eve Collected Essays, explains that Satan’s
tempting of Adam and Eve was due to this reason of
Overthrowing God. It explains that, Satan wanted to these first
humans, the creations of God himself to rebel against him, so
that the Devil proves his influence and power of God as he wins
support and amasses followers. Based on these insights, we can
conclude that Satan makes things go wrong between Adam and
Eve because he wanted to show God his powers and form his
