Worship Of The Serpent And The Fall Of Man (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169200937)

The book ""Worship Of The Serpent And The Fall Of Man"" by John Bathurst Deane is a historical and religious exploration of the serpent's significance in various cultures and religions throughout history. Deane delves into the serpent's role in ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman mythology, as well as its presence in Hinduism, Buddhism, and various African religions.The book also examines the serpent's role in Christianity, particularly in the story of Adam and Eve and the fall of man. Deane explores the symbolism of the serpent in Christian art and literature, and how it has been used to represent temptation and evil.Throughout the book, Deane argues that the serpent has been a symbol of wisdom and power in many cultures, and that its association with evil and temptation is a relatively recent development in human history. He suggests that the serpent's role in religious mythology reflects humanity's fascination with the natural world and its desire to understand the mysteries of life and death.Overall, ""Worship Of The Serpent And The Fall Of Man"" is a fascinating exploration of the serpent's place in human history and religious thought, and a thought-provoking examination of the ways in which our perceptions of this ancient symbol have evolved over time.THIS 44 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Worship of the Serpent Traced Throughout the World and Its Traditions Referred to the Events in Paradise, by John Bathurst Deane.
