Frederic McCurdy, Kaufmann Kohler and Richard Gottheil in The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1906 Adam and Eve By David Mandel, Who's Who in the Hebrew Bible, The Jewish Publication Society Bone of My Bone and Flesh of My Flesh By Phyllis A. Bird in Theology Today. The examples of Genesis I and Psalm 8 alert us to two dangers in appeal to biblical statements as authority for contemporary faith. Both appear to offer general pronouncements about the nature of humankind with universal applicability. In fact, both are concerned with a very limited question-the place of humans within the created order. Both also assume male models as representative of the species Eve and Pandora Contrasted By William E. Phipps in Theology Today. Contrary to prevailing opinion, there is reason to hold that the myths of Eve and Pandora are quite dissimilar in original meaning. Our lack of awareness of this difference has been due to interpreters throughout Western civilization who have mingled these two stories together The Seduction of Eve and Feminist Readings of the Garden of Eden By Reuven Kimelman in Women in Judaism: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 1998.

Presented at the annual meeting of the American Research Center in Egypt, Atlanta 1995. The bible makes reference to two separate women named Deborah. One was the nurse to Abraham's son Isaac and the other was, in the much later period of the Judges, a military leader referred to as "a mother in Israel". In this paper I will argue that both Deborahs were mythological figures based on Hebrew recollections of the goddess Neith, the goddess who ruled in the area of Egypt where Israel dwelled in earlier times Looking for Abraham's City By Daniel J.
