  • 4. Adam is named in the genealogy in 1 Chronicles 1.
  • 5. The interpretation of Hosea 6:7 is disputed, but a good case can be offered that taking ‘Adam’ as a reference to the first human being, rather than as a place-name or as ‘mankind’, makes best sense in the context.
  • 6. The genealogy of Jesus Christ given in Luke 3:23-38 traces all the way back to Adam.
  • 7. In Matthew 19:3-9, in answer to a question about divorce, Jesus refers the Pharisees back to the account of the creation of Adam and Eve in Genesis 1-2.
  • 8. In Romans 5:12-21, Paul draws his famous parallel between Adam and Jesus.
  • 9. In the same passage, Paul states that “death reigned from Adam to Moses” (verse 14). Paul clearly means to refer to a specific period in human history;
  • 10. Paul’s parallel between Adam and Christ reappears in 1 Corinthians 15:21-22 (also verse 45).
  • 11. In 1 Timothy 2:12-14, Paul refers to specific details about the creation and fall of Adam and Eve to support his instructions about women teaching in the church.
  • 12. Jude 14 refers to “Enoch, the seventh from Adam”; it’s a reasonable presumption that the author of Jude viewed both Enoch and Adam as historical individuals.
