    A study of the use of medieval literary texts to explain the Fall and Redemption, the universality of original sin, and the identity of mankind with Adam and Eve. 'The Fall of Adam and the redemption of mankind has been one of the central myths of Western European civilisation for nearly two thousand years; any increase in our understanding of the way in which it has been understood and represented is an increase in our understanding of the whole of European sensibility. This is what the author has achieved in this book... Despite the immense amount of information that is given, the author's own prose has such clarity and fluencey that noone could help but be informed and entertained.' JOURNAL OF THEOLOGICAL STUDIES. The theme of 'Adam's Grace' is the interplay of theology and literature across a wide range of genres and vernaculars: in particular, the use of medieval literary texts to explain the balance of the Fall and Redemption, the universality of original sin, and the identity of mankind with its first parents, Adam and Eve. The process begins with the Christian tradition of apocryphal Adam-lives, which live on and develop in many vernaculars. Later, Adam is used as a literary model, on whom many well-known Christian figures of the middle ages - knights, popes, emperors, kings and saints - can be seen to be based. They include Gregorius, the "medieval Oedipus", whose case demonstrates the resolution of the paradox of the 'felix culpa'; Parzival, searching for the Holy Grail and for God in the hostile world into which he has been ejected; and the many medieval figures (literary and even historical) associated with the legends of leprosy, blood and healing which reflect the sacrifice in the Redemption. The last part of the book looks at the drama, first of all the medieval representations of the Fall and the Passion, and then the rather different portrayal of Adam on stage in the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation. BRIAN MURDOCH is Professor of German at Stirling University.

    A study of the use of medieval literary texts to explain the Fall and Redemption, the universality of original sin, and the identity of mankind with Adam and Eve. 'The Fall of Adam and the redemption of mankind has been one of the central myths of Western European civilisation for nearly two thousand years; any increase in our understanding of the way in which it has been understood and represented is an increase in our understanding of the whole of European sensibility. This is what the author has achieved in this book... Despite the immense amount of information that is given, the author's own prose has such clarity and fluencey that noone could help but be informed and entertained.' JOURNAL OF THEOLOGICAL STUDIES. The theme of 'Adam's Grace' is the interplay of theology and literature across a wide range of genres and vernaculars: in particular, the use of medieval literary texts to explain the balance of the Fall and Redemption, the universality of original sin, and the identity of mankind with its first parents, Adam and Eve. The process begins with the Christian tradition of apocryphal Adam-lives, which live on and develop in many vernaculars. Later, Adam is used as a literary model, on whom many well-known Christian figures of the middle ages - knights, popes, emperors, kings and saints - can be seen to be based. They include Gregorius, the "medieval Oedipus", whose case demonstrates the resolution of the paradox of the 'felix culpa'; Parzival, searching for the Holy Grail and for God in the hostile world into which he has been ejected; and the many medieval figures (literary and even historical) associated with the legends of leprosy, blood and healing which reflect the sacrifice in the Redemption. The last part of the book looks at the drama, first of all the medieval representations of the Fall and the Passion, and then the rather different portrayal of Adam on stage in the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation. BRIAN MURDOCH is Professor of German at Stirling University
