As told in the second chapter of Genesis,the Lord GOD formed Adam from the Earth's dirt,breathed life into him, and placed him in the gardenof Eden. After a futile attempt to fi nd a companionfor him among the animals, God put Adam into adeep sleep, took one of his ribs, and fashioned awoman from it, whom Adam eventually named EVE.In Genesis 3 God expelled Adam and Eve from thegarden because they disobeyed God's command notto eat from the tree of knowledge (see FALL, THE).Jewish philosophers have seen Adam and hisstory as symbolizing all human beings. Christiansused the image of Adam in defi ning the special roleof JESUS. For example, PAUL saw Jesus as the secondAdam, undoing the consequences of the FirstAdam's sin (1 Corinthians 15.22, 45). For Muslims,Adam is the fi rst in the line of prophets that culminatesin the prophet MUHAMMAD.
