Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Worship of the Serpent: Traced Throughout the World, and Its Traditions Referred to the Events in Paradise: Proving the Temptation and Fall of Man by the Instrumentality of a Serpent Tempter The deception of Eve by Satan, through the instrumentality of a serpent has ever been an object of ridicule with the profane, who, reading without reflection, or reflecting without reading, deem that "a foolishness" which they cannot understand, or that "a stumbling-block" which they cannot explain away. Thus faith, which had defied the sophistry of the acutest sceptic, has been sometimes shaken by an incredulous sneer: and Christians, who would have scorned to be argued out of their religion, have not been ashamed to be laughed out of it. To establish by the testimony of heathen authorities the credibility of the Temptation and Fall of Man in Paradise, through the agency of Satan in a serpent's form, is my endeavour in the following Treatise: nor is it with a vain confidence that every argument adduced is either new or conclusive.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Worship of the Serpent Traced Throughout the World: Attesting the Temptation and Fall of Man by the Instrumentality of a Serpent Tempter In conclusion, I must remark, that the present edition of this treatise, although very superior to the last, both as to correctness of informa tion, and quantity of new matter, is still only an introduction to what may be written on the Worship of the Serpent, as connected with the Fall and Redemption of Man. And I shall hail the day with pleasure, when some person of true learning and a deep insight into antiquity shall go through (with this view) with the his tory of the'serpent It would be, indeed, as Bryant most justly observes, a noble under taking, and very edifying in its consequences and if this short syllabus shall be in any degree instrumental to a work so desired, it will not.

Download or read book A Rabbi Reads the Bible written by Jonathan Magonet and published by Hymns Ancient and Modern Ltd. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Magonet comes to the Bible with enthusiasm, wit and infectious humour rare in Bible scholars. As a rabbi he brings the insights of two thousand years of Jewish Bible exegesis, but combines them with the critical skills of today's literary analysis of biblical texts. He draws off his own creativity as poet and songwriter both to read the biblical text and use it as a springboard for exploring the character of biblical personalities. He moves comfortably between the worlds of religious tradition and the questioning of the modern secular person. His skills as a popular lecturer and broadcaster help shape this book. 'How a Donkey Reads a Bible' explores the biases and presuppositions we bring to our reading of the biblical text. 'My Part in the Fall of "King David"' recounts Jonathan Magonet's absurd experiences as technical adviser on a biblical epic but shows how many of the "special effects" of films have their literary equivalent in the pages of the Bible. He introduces us to fellow Bible enthusiasts who illuminate it through approaching it from a variety of disciplines - theology, literary criticism, psychoanalysis and politics.

Download or read book Adam Eve and the Serpent written by Elaine Pagels and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-10-05 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A National Book Award winner and New York Times bestselling author deepens and refreshes our view of early Christianity while casting a disturbing light on the evolution of the attitudes passed down to us. "Confirms her reputation as both a scholar and a popular interpreter.... Continuously rewarding and illuminating." —The New York Times How did the early Christians come to believe that sex was inherently sinful? When did the Fall of Adam become synonymous with the fall of humanity? What turned Christianity from a dissident sect that championed the integrity of the individual and the idea of free will into the bulwark of a new imperial order—with the central belief that human beings cannot not choose to sin? In this provocative masterpiece of historical scholarship Elaine Pagels re-creates the controversies that racked the early church as it confronted the riddles of sexuality, freedom, and sin as embodied in the story of Genesis. And she shows how what was once heresy came to shape our own attitudes toward the body and the soul.

CHAPTER III. SERPENT-WORSHIP IN EUROPE. CHAPTER III. SERPENT-WORSHIP IN EUROPE. I. Greece.--Whether the learned and ingenious Bryant1 be correct or not, in deriving the very name of Europe from 2N"")1N (aur-ab), the solar serpent, it is certain that Ophiolatreia prevailed in this quarter of the globe at the earliest period of idolatryi. Of the countries of Europe, Greece was first colonized by Ophites, but at separate times, both from Egypt and Phoenicia; and it is a question of some doubt, though perhaps of little importance, whether the leader of the first colony, the celebrated Cadmus, was a Phoenician or an Egyptian. Bochart has shown that Cadmus was the leader of the Canaanites who fled before the arms of the victorious Joshua; and Bryant has proved that he was an Egyptian, identical with Thoth. But as mere names of individuals are of no importance, when all agree that the same superstition existed contemporaneously in the two countries, and since Thoth is declared by Sanchoniathon to have been the father of the Phoenician as well as Egyptian Ophiolatreia; we may endeavour, without presumption, to reconcile the opinions of these learned authors, by assuming each to be right in his own line of argument; and by generalizing the name CadMus, instead of appropriating it to individuals. By the word Cadmus, therefore, we may understand the leader of the Cadmonites, whether of Egypt or Phoenicia. There would, consequently, be as many persons of this name, as colonies of this denomination. 1 Faber approves this derivation.--Cabiri, vol. i. 180. 'The first inhabitants of Europe are said to have been the offspring of a woman, partly of the human, and partly of the dracontic figure, a tradition which alludes to...

Book excerpt: The Worship of the Serpent is an 1833 study, written by the clergyman John Bathurst Deane, of snake worship and specifically the snake mentioned in the Book of Genesis who convinced Eve to eat the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, leading her to convince Adam to do the same.
Download or read book The Serpent in Samuel written by Brian A. Verrett and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, Brian A. Verrett argues that 1–2 Samuel contains a serpent motif by practicing biblical theology and literary criticism. This motif derives from the serpent in Genesis 3, and its function within the Samuel narrative is to heighten the reader’s anticipation in the coming messiah, who is the son of David and the seed of the woman from Genesis 3:15. This messiah will defeat the serpent and inaugurate his glorious reign over a renewed world. When 1–2 Samuel is read in this way, one appreciates previously unnoticed features of the text, understands aspects of the text that were formerly confusing, and rightly sees that the whole of 1–2 Samuel is a messianic document.
