The Book of Moses and Book of Abraham accounts have been compared to Life of Adam and Eve and other Jewish Pseudepigrapha due to some similarities, including accounts of Adam and Eve's temptation and life after leaving the Garden of Eden [citation needed]. The Book of Moses also contains teachings and prophecies of Enoch, including his testimony of the Only Begotten, Jesus Christ. The Life of Adam and Eve is a Jewish pseudepigraphical writing, the original of which was perhaps written around 70 BC. The story begins immediately after Adam and Eves exile from the Garden of Eden and continues to their deaths. ...
