The story of the Tree of Knowledge is one of the most enduring mysteries in human history. Who planted the tree? Who was the serpent? Who sent it to Adam and Eve? Were they truly the first humans? And why was knowledge forbidden in the first place?
In this compelling and meticulously researched work, Dominic C Ndulue brings together the biblical account, ancient Near Eastern tradition, Jewish and early Christian interpretation, and the Gnostic texts — including the Apocryphon of John, the Hypostasis of the Archons, and On the Origin of the World — to uncover the deeper meaning behind Eden's oldest questions.
Across thirty-eight chapters, the book explores the serpent as deceiver, educator and liberator; the real agenda of the rulers; the nature of human consciousness; and what the quest for knowledge reveals about our true origin and destiny.
Who Sent the Serpent? is a thought-provoking journey into scripture, Gnosis, history and human nature — a book for anyone who dares to ask what really happened in Eden, and why it still matters today.
