Episode 109 - The Serpent in the Garden
Episode Summary
This Podcast deals with the identity of the famous serpent who tempted the woman in the Garden of Eden. There is a long history of interpretation in which the serpent is identified with Satan. Yet, the text says that the Serpent was clever, not evil, and it was a creature that God made. Satan is never blamed for introducing evil anywhere in the Old Testament. Despite depictions in Christian art, the serpent was legless only after divine punishment, not when conversing with the woman. The Old Testament never justifies the phrase, “The Devil made me do it.”
