The Good and Evil Serpent: How a Universal Symbol Became Christianized - The Anchor Yale Bible Reference Library
James H. Charlesworth
In a perplexing passage from the "Gospel of John", Jesus is likened to the most reviled creature in Christian symbology: the snake. Attempting to understand how the Fourth Evangelist could have made such a surprising analogy, this book explores in detail the symbol of the serpent from 40,000 BCE onwards, and from diverse regions in the world.
