Attempting To Understand How The Fourth Evangelist Could Have Made Such A Surprising Analogy, James H. Charlesworth Has Spent Nearly A Decade Combing Through The Vast Array Of References To Serpents In The Ancient World&#8212;from The Bible And Other Religious Texts To Ancient Statuary And Jewelry.
