The Good and Evil Serpent: How a Universal Symbol Became Christianized (The Anchor Yale Bible Reference Library)

In doing so he emphasises the creativity of the biblical authors' use of symbols and argues that we must reexamine our own archetypal conceptions with comparable creativity.Charlesworth, James H. is the author of 'The Good and Evil Serpent: How a Universal Symbol Became Christianized (The Anchor Yale Bible Reference Library)', published 2010 under ISBN 9780300140828 and ISBN 0300140827.
