(The following is a review by a volunteer)
“Who Told You That You Were Naked?” by William Combs is the re-examinination of God’s question posed to our ancestor, Adam, after he disobeyed God’s only then commandment not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden, or sinned and fell short of the glory of God, and how this Bible story relates to us, Adam’s descendants.
Adam, our ancestor, or the first man God created from the dust of the ground without gametes had broken his fellowship with God after he sinned: Adam, who once enjoyed fellowship with God went into hiding when he heard God’s footsteps in the Garden of Eden.Then, God called to him, “Where are you?”Adam overwhelmed with fear and shame answered: “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” Then, God asked him a question from whom the title of this book was composed, “Who told you that you were naked?”
Adam, who lived 930 years and then died, did not admit his mistake in his responded to God’s question. He instead blamed the woman, his wife, Eve. Adam, his response to God’s question referred to the physical lack of clothing or his birth suit. This explains why the First couple sewed fig leaves and made coverings for themselves. However, nakedness refers to both physical lack of clothing and spiritual lack of white clothing or the broken fellowship with God.
Combs managed to shed fresh insight into God’s question posed to us through our ancestor, Adam. He explained the context of the question, and managed to transport the Word of God from the Biblical times into our times.
He skillfully developed the Bible story, spiced it with his gift for words, and an excellent book cover design that makes the piece of writing worth reading. The book is educative, informative and interesting. However, the book contains a pocket of typographical errors, and I did not find any grammatical mistakes.
Nevertheless, I do not like the ending .I would have loved Combs share the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who is the new Adam from Heaven, and not the old Adam from the dust of the earth, sent to save the world from the wrath of God, which is coming soon. Therefore, I rate the book 4 out of 4 stars because of the said shortcomings do not away from the strength of this book: a refreshing re-examination of the Bible story. I also recommend this book to the adult Christian readers and those who love reading Bible stories.
