Oesterley (1921) were cognizant of the differences between the role of the Edenic serpent in the Hebrew Bible and its connections with the "ancient serpent" in the New Testament.

ISBN 90-04-14743-8. Below are two honorable mentions that specialize in a niche topic. Honorable Mention #1: The Ultimate Ball Python: Morph Maker Guide Mainstream scholars suggest that the image of the fiery serpent served to function like that of a magical amulet. Magic amulets or charms were used in the ancient Near East [37] to practice a healing ritual known as sympathetic magic in an attempt to ward off, heal or reduce the impact of illness and poisons. [2] Copper and bronze serpent figures have been recovered, showing that the practice was widespread. [37] A Christian interpretation would be that the bronze serpent served as a symbol for each individual Israelite to take their confession of sin and the need for God's deliverance to heart. Confession of sin and forgiveness was both a community and an individual responsibility. The plague of serpents remained an ongoing threat to the community and the raised bronze serpent was an ongoing reminder to each individual for the need to turn to the healing power of God. [2] It has also been proposed that the bronze serpent was a type of intermediary between God and the people [37] that served as a test of obedience, in the form of free judgment, [38] standing between the dead who were not willing to look to God's chosen instrument of healing, and the living who were willing and were healed. [39] Thus, this instrument bore witness to the sovereign power of Yahweh even over the dangerous and sinister character of the desert. [38]The only complaint is that this hasn’t been updated with current information on snake families. Pros and Cons of Snakes of the United States and Canada by Carl H. Ernst and Evelyn M. Ernst Pros Yet another gorgeous snake book cover! Five Dark Fates is the fourth and final book in a stunning series, so if you’re into this from the cover alone but haven’t read the first three, start from the beginning!

Miscellaneous Snake Books The Snakes by Sadie Jones This book includes information on over 100 species, including rare and endangered snakes. It contains an introduction to snake biology, evolution, and anatomy and dispels myths and misconceptions with scientific facts (no, that snake probably can’t eat you). Plus, it’s organized by region, making it easy to find the snake you’re seeking. It also features stunning photography, and when you combine it with O’Shea’s personal experiences with some of the world’s biggest snakes, you get more than just an encyclopedia of snakes: it’s an adventure. Pros and Cons of Boas and Pythons of the World by Mark O’Shea Pros
Main articles: Genesis creation narrative and Jewish mythology Adam, Eve, and a female serpent at the entrance to Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France. The portrayal of the image of the serpent as a mirror of Eve was common in earlier Christian iconography as a result of the identification of women as the ones responsible for the fall of man and source of the original sin. [3] The Book of Snakes presents 600 species of snakes from around the world, covering nearly one in six of all snake species. It will bring greater understanding of a group of reptiles that have existed for more than 160 million years, and that now inhabit every continent except Antarctica, as well as two of the great oceans.It’s important to note that this is not a local guidebook. You may indeed be able to find information on the eastern indigo snake you think you spotted, but it’s organized by family (or type of snake), not region.
