Abstract: "One can detect three approaches to Adam's sin in early Jewish writings: minimizing (Jubilees, Sirach), maximizing (4 Ezra, 2 Baruch), and Romanizing (Josephus, Philo). For different reasons Adam's sin was neutralized (Sirach), sanitized (Jubilees), scrutinized (4 Ezra, 2 Baruch), moralized (Josephus), and allegorized (Philo)". - D.J.H.
