From Named to Nameless, from Bad to Insipid: Eve between First Testament and Qur'an

Abstract

In this article I will present a comparison of the character of Eve as she appears in creation narratives both in the First Testament (Old Testament) and in the Qur'an. My primary purpose is to bring to life the character of Eve in both texts and to examine how the Qur'an has adopted the narratives from the First Testament and what this has meant for the character of Eve.
