Are you a bible student who already holds an understanding of the teachings and God's mind depicted in Genesis? What's your stance and contextual belief of sin and redemption? Most importantly, who is to be blamed for the fall of man in the Garden of Eden—Adam, Eve, or God as to why he created the forbidden tree knowing that it's detrimental to man's relationship with Him?

The book—Who Told You That You Were Naked by William E. Combs—raised questions that bible readers might have philosophically raised in their course of studying the bible. The author, by carrying us in time through the happenings in the garden of Eden, seeks to analyze the deep knowledge about sin while referring us back to Genesis and the biblical approach of dealing with sin nature.

I love this book in all its areas. First, I want to appreciate the author for the overall concept of the book. Sincerely, the author's approach in analyzing the ambiguous meaning of the spiritual messages in Genesis as presented in the bible is so clearly and logically justified with common and understandable illustrations. This made some of the seemingly complex biblical doctrines that are usually referenced with pages of Genesis come clear. And thus, my understanding of God has now been significantly raised. As a religious person, I've been positively impacted. For example, it is a valuable privilege to have come across the question and answer that the author raised about the mystery of the forbidden tree and God's intention for creating it in the first place. Secondly, Combs has changed the stereotypical belief about sin as well as God's forgiveness. I felt a kind of relief within me after reading this piece. And I'm sure this feeling is due to the heavy load that was lifted off my heart by the answers given to the questions raised. And interestingly, as I was coming across each question, I did feel that I was about to ask the same question.

Overall, the book has been written with literary perfection and expertise. This is because I couldn't find a typo or grammar error in it. For this reason and my aforementioned comment of likes, I give Who Told You That You Were Naked?: A Refreshing Reexamination of the Garden of Eden a rating of 4 out of 4 stars.

The book would be very helpful to readers who have been studying the bible and have come across some debated courses of explanation of the complex bible message on sin, redemption, and maintaining a relationship with God. And I generally recommend the book to any reader who would open their heart reading about spirituality and Christianity to gain control over the controversial concept of sin and walking with God.

This is a must-read for me. I would love to go through how the book justifies sin about what should be blamed for the first fall of man.
