"In the minds of many people, Adam, the first man, is a controversial figure. So is Eve, his wife. Together they are probably the most misunderstood couple who have ever lived on the earth."

So states Elder Mark E. Petersen of the Council of the Twelve in this enlightening book. Drawing from the scriptures as well as statements of modern-day prophets and writers, he establishes the true identity of our earthly progenitors.

Among the misconceptions concerning Adam is the theory that he was Deity. For years, controversy has raged around this theory as a result of a statement attributed to Brigham Young. Elder Petersen discusses this statement as well as numerous other theories concerning Adam. In a clear, consice way, he puts to rest theories that Adam was deity, as well as claims that Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden are all myths. He establishes the fact that Adam, known as Michael the archangel in the pre-earth life, was, in fact, the first mortal man, that he and Eve were created in the flesh by Deity, and that they did indeed have a mortal existence.

This book is a excellent thought-provoking book for every serious student of theology.
