Abstract

The Life of Adam and Eve contains an episode in which Satan describes the protoplast Adam receiving worship from the angels of heaven, worship commanded by God himself. This tradition has played a role in recent debates over the nature of Second Temple religious devotion to the God of Israel. In particular, it has been put forward as an example that undermines arguments that Israel’s God alone was the exclusive recipient of Jewish cultic worship. Within this debate, the reliability of Satan as a narrator within the Life of Adam and Eve has yet to be considered. Demonstrating Satan to be an unreliable narrator would have significant implications for the role of the Life of Adam and Eve in the debate regarding the nature of Jewish religious devotion.

亚当和夏娃的一生以及第二圣殿宗教奉献的本质：撒旦对亚当的崇拜可信吗？

亚当和夏娃的一生》中有一段情节，撒旦描述了原生体亚当接受天堂天使崇拜的情景，这种崇拜是上帝亲自吩咐的。这一传统在最近关于第二圣殿时期对以色列上帝的宗教奉献性质的争论中发挥了作用。特别是，它被作为一个例子提出来，以驳斥关于只有以色列的上帝才是犹太教崇拜的唯一接受者的论点。在这场辩论中，撒旦作为《亚当与夏娃的生活》中的叙述者的可靠性还有待于考虑。如果能证明撒旦是一个不可靠的叙述者，将对《亚当夏娃的一生》在有关犹太宗教崇拜性质的辩论中所扮演的角色产生重大影响。

期刊介绍： The last twenty years have witnessed some remarkable achievements in the study of early Jewish literature. Given the ever-increasing number and availability of primary sources for these writings, specialists have been producing text-critical, historical, social scientific, and theological studies which, in turn, have fuelled a growing interest among scholars, students, religious leaders, and the wider public. The only English journal of its kind, Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha was founded in 1987 to provide a much-needed forum for scholars to discuss and review most recent developments in this burgeoning field in the academy.
