Adam, Dust Of The Earth: A Paradise Received And Incomplete In The Biblical Accounts Of Creation. Some Philological Observations On The Creation Accounts, Jean Koulagna

In other words, exegesis is there to support ethical stands that are no doubt laudable, but have been already established.

Against this background, the author argues that religious institutions should see …
