Böcker av S. C. Malan

This work narrates the history of the world from Adam to Jesus, presented in an English translation of Ethiopic and Coptic manuscripts. This exclusive translation of rare sources is recommended for readers interested in comparative religion, Oriental Orthodoxy, and biblical studies.

This book reveals the life and times of Adam and Eve after they were expelled from the Garden of Eden, up to the time when Cain killed his brother Abel. It covers where they went, where they lived, and their various troubles and temptations, including those coming from Satan. It is interesting because it provides one with more information to work with beyond the standard Biblical account. It is important because it has survived for so long, mostly in other languages, including Arabic and Ethiopic. It seems to have been written a few centuries before Christ, and parts of it can be found in the "Koran" of Islam and the Jewish "Talmud".
