What is it about?
Before expelling Adam and Eve from Paradise God clothed them in coats of skins. The paper reflects on how we can understand these coats of skins, examining the way Augustine and Origen interpreted them, and also the way the skin tunics connect for these authors with their understanding of the creation of the human being and especially the human body.
