Who Told You That You Were Naked places adds a whole new perspective on the story of Adam and Eve, the original sin, and the events that occurred in the Garden of Eden. In this book, one experiences several narratives and explanations of those narratives, with references to the Bible to back them up. I loved the way that the author has chosen to stop and explain his narratives, it gives the reader a chance to better understand what is going on.
I believe that this book would be amazing for those of the Jewish and Christian faiths. It challenges the reader to think outside of the box and really puts one of the most known Bible stories into perspective.
I really liked how the author told the story of Adam and Eve. It made me, the reader, understand the complexity of a Bible story I thought was simple. Many of the emotions that Adam and Eve experienced are very common in today’s society and very relatable. I also liked the way the author made it a point to inform the reader that, although Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, God was not simply punishing them. Each of the ‘punishments’ brought upon them were also to help them throughout life.
I rate this book a 4 out of 4. It was very well put together and an overall good read.
