The internet is also a wild west unmoderated realm yet children go on here and get bullied, and exposed to all sorts of things.
Who is ...Rutherford H. Platt and do they have any other books under their name?i asked AI to find the ISBN number....its so easy to do so now... lol.
The clearest standalone edition I found is:
The First Book of Adam and Eve — Rutherford H. Platt
Mamba Press, 2024
ISBN-10: 9798330380589
148 pages.
There is also an older standalone reprint:
First Book of Adam and Eve — Rutherford Platt
Book Jungle, 2009
ISBN-10: 1438519346
ISBN-13: 9781438519340
102 pages.
However, the edition I would recommend for your purpose is the larger collection:
The Forgotten Books of Eden — Rutherford H. Platt
Echo Point Books & Media, 2021
ISBN-10: 1648370187
ISBN-13: 9781648370182
288 pages. It contains both the First and Second Books of Adam and Eve, along with several other ancient writings.
There is also a widely reprinted edition:
The Lost Books of the Bible and The Forgotten Books of Eden
Plume, 1974
ISBN-13: 9780452009448
640 pages.
One important thing, especially given what we've been examining: these modern books are editions of the English translation tradition associated with Solomon Caesar Malan and Rutherford Platt; they are not the original ancient manuscript. The First Book of Adam and Eve is part of the work commonly known as The Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan, preserved in Ethiopic.
For actually studying the text chapter by chapter, I would choose The Forgotten Books of Eden (ISBN 9781648370182) because it gives you the First and Second Books together rather than an isolated modern reprint.
from AI;Who is ...Rutherford H. Platt and do they have any other books under their name?
What about the forbidden fruit?If I were to write a book about Eve, I would write a gardening book. And have pictures identifying all the different fruit trees they had back then where Eden was.
Sure lots of trees have poisonous fruits. People only found out when they ate them. They didn't have very good plant ID back in the day.What about the forbidden fruit?

I've never heard of poisonous fruit.Sure lots of trees have poisonous fruits. People only found out when they ate them. They didn't have very good plant ID back in the day.
Well people learned not to eat them.I've never heard of poisonous fruit.
I know about poisonous berries and poisonous plants, but I didn't think berries were fruits. I had to look it up.Well people learned not to eat them.
Or be very careful. Karaka berries is one we have here, but its more the seeds. The flesh ok, just don't swallow the seeds.
People used to believe tomatoes were poisonous.
And of course nowadays with fruits being still sprayed with Lord knows what chemicals, if you don't wash them, you could be eating pesticides.
You didn't know berries were fruits????I know about poisonous berries and poisonous plants, but I didn't think berries were fruits. I had to look it up.![]()
I thought berries were just berries, nothing else.You didn't know berries were fruits????

My mind is blownI thought berries were just berries, nothing else.
