Reseñas en medios

“Steve Jones's new book The Serpent's Promise: The Bible As Science convincingly and entertainingly demolishes many [Biblical stories].”
The Express

“The Serpent’s Promise is the book you’ve been waiting for. . . . a calmer and more patiently informative update of the Good Book. . . . Jones doesn’t disappoint.”
The Guardian (UK)

“In this reinterpretation of both Old and New Testament, we are treated to some superbly presented genetics, coupled with pungent excursions into the territories occupied by the likes of astronomers, bookmakers, doctors and lawyers. . . . [an] important book.”
The Times
 
“Steve Jones's scientific retelling of the Bible in The Serpent's Promise is lively and amusing. . . . paragraph by paragraph, Jones is always lively and often wickedly funny.”
New Scientist
 
“Here, Jones is on home territory and he writes with the fluency and wit that make him one of our best science popularisers. . . . [a] largely entertaining and informative book.”
The New Statesman

“Steve Jones . . . has produced an engaging and an intriguingly peculiar book.”
The Times Higher Education (UK)
