聖經故事:亞當和夏娃 Adam and Eve

猶太教－基督教和伊斯蘭教傳統中最早的人類夫婦。關於創造亞當和夏娃的經過，〈創世記〉上有兩種敘述。第一種說法是上帝在創世的第六天“照着自己的形象造男造女”。第二種說法是上帝把伊甸園（Garden of Eden）交給亞當掌管，並取下他的一根肋骨，他創造了伴侶夏娃。後來夏娃受引誘吃了善惡禁果，上帝隨即懲罰了他們∶自此他們及後世皆須被迫辛勤工作以維生。他們的孩子是該隱和亞伯（Cain and Abel）。基督教神學家以亞當和夏娃的故事爲基礎，發展了原罪（original sin）理論。而《可蘭經》則教導人們亞當的罪僅僅是他一人之罪，並不使所有人都成罪人。

In the Judeo-Christian and Islamic traditions， the parents of the human race. Genesis gives two versions of their creation. In the first， God creates “male and female in his own image” on the sixth day. In the second， Adam is placed in the Garden of Eden， and Eve is later created from his rib to ease his loneliness. For succumbing to temptation and eating the fruit of the forbidden tree of knowledge of good and evil， God banished them from Eden， and they and their descendants were forced to live lives of hardship. Cain and Abel were their children. Christian theologians developed the doctrine of original sin based on the story of their transGREssion； in contrast， the Quran teaches that Adam's sin was his alone and did not make all people sinners.
