This pathbreaking book explores in plentiful detail the symbolic meanings of the
serpent from 40,000 BCE to the present,
and from diverse regions in the world. In
doing so it emphasizes the utter creativity
of the biblical authors use of symbols and
argues that we must, today, reexamine
our own archetypal conceptions with
comparable creativity.
