His surviving writings show a remarkable knowledge of [[scripture]] and have distinct value as theological literature.

Adam, in fact, had been placed there by God for the purpose of working and guarding Paradise; he had received this place from Him to be his own. Having distanced himself from there by disobedience, it is proper that he should hear from God: 'Where art thou?'''
