Does the Bible ever describe the Fall in ways different than Genesis 3?

In his book *In the Beginning*, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger wrote the following with regards to the pre-Pauline hymn of Phil 2:5-11:

What is the account of the Fall presumed by Phil 2:5-11? And what is the account of the Fall related in Job 15:7-8?
More over, are there other places where the Bible gives an account of original sin (either explicitly or implicitly)? If this question is too involved, I would be satisfied by any book/article recommendations.
