How to read this entry
Evidence grades apply to individual claims, not to the headword as a whole. Strong biblical identification is kept separate from plausible or traditional interpretations, and unsupported proposals remain visible as negative evidence rather than being silently removed.

Adam is an explicit contrastive and corporate representative type of Christ, the coming one and last Adam.
Grade 1: Explicit biblical interpretationScope: The established correspondence concerns representative headship and contrasting effects of Adam and Christ; incidental details of Adam's life are not thereby typological.
