| The Function of the Adam and Eve Traditions in Armenian Culture Under a grant for the Israel Science Foundation, Professor Michael E. Stone is conducting a major, multi-year research project, quite unique in Armenian Studies. Taking the stories of Adam and Eve in Genesis 1-3 as a basis, he is collecting and analyzing all their occurrences in Armenian literature and art. These stories, and the way they are told, reveal attitudes to human beings, sin, life in this world, and other profound dimensions of human existence. By analyzing the way these stories change as they are retold by the Armenians over the centuries, Prof. Stone hopes to gain new insights into the religious and cultural aspects of Armenian history. |
