If the serpent was possessed, why was he punished? How could an unfallen woman have wicked motivations for disobeying God? How could Adam eat the fruit if, as the Scriptures say, he was not deceived? These and other questions are addressed in The Beginning: A Second Look at the First Sin.

A portfolio of linocuts was pulled to illustrate this book by Chara Bauer, Ned Bustard, Tanja Butler, Matthew Clark, Tyrus Clutter, Edward Knippers.
