The Life of Adam and Eve contains an episode in which Satan describes the protoplast Adam receiving worship from the angels of heaven, worship commanded by God himself. This tradition has played a role in recent debates over the nature of Second Temple religious devotion to the God of Israel. In particular, it has been put forward as an example that undermines arguments that Israel’s God alone was the exclusive recipient of Jewish cultic worship. Within this debate, the reliability of Satan as a narrator within the Life of Adam and Eve has yet to be considered. Demonstrating Satan to be an unreliable narrator would have significant implications for the role of the Life of Adam and Eve in the debate regarding the nature of Jewish religious devotion.

亚当和夏娃的生活以及第二圣殿宗教信仰的本质：关于亚当的崇拜，撒旦可以相信吗？

《亚当和夏娃的一生》中有一个情节，其中撒旦描述了原生质体亚当接受天上天使的崇拜，这是上帝亲自命令的崇拜。这一传统在最近关于第二圣殿对以色列神的宗教信仰本质的争论中发挥了重要作用。特别是，它被作为一个例子，驳斥了以色列的上帝才是犹太教崇拜的唯一接受者的论点。在这场辩论中，撒旦作为亚当和夏娃的生活叙述者的可靠性还有待考虑。证明撒旦是一个不可靠的叙述者将对亚当和夏娃的生活在有关犹太宗教信仰本质的辩论中的作用产生重大影响。
