The Good And Evil Serpent
Author: James H. Charlesworth
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300142730
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 742
Book Description
The serpent of ancient times was more often associated with positive attributes like healing and eternal life than it was with negative meanings. This groundbreaking book explores in plentiful detail the symbol of the serpent from 40,000 BCE to the present, and from diverse regions in the world. In doing so it emphasizes the creativity of the biblical authors' use of symbols and argues that we must today reexamine our own archetypal conceptions with comparable creativity.--From publisher description.
