Prologue
The First Book of Adam and Eve details the life and times of Adam and
Eve after they were expelled from the garden to the time that Cain
kills his brother Abel. It tells of Adam and Eve's first dwelling--the
Cave of Treasures; their trials and temptations; Satan's many
apparitions to them; the birth of Cain, Abel, and their twin sisters;
and Cain's love for his beautiful twin sister, Luluwa, whom Adam and
Eve wished to join to Abel.
