Snake Talk

88 | Snakes in the Bible

Episode Notes

Dr. Jenkins sits down with Dr. Joseph Gordon to discuss snakes in the Bible. When most people think of snakes featured in the Bible, the narrative of Adam and Eve and snakes portrayed in a negative light come to mind. But there are actually almost 60 mentions of snakes throughout the Bible and many of them are not as negative as you might think. Joe and Chris go through the story of the snake and the ‘fall of humanity’ in Genesis to the stories of snakes in Revelation and everything in between. 

Dr. Jenkins on Episode 88, “As someone who wasn't raised with a religious background, this was a fascinating episode for me and I am eager to learn about the depiction and interpretation of snakes across various religions.”
