In "Temptation Transformed: The Story of How the Forbidden Fruit Became an Apple," Azzan Yadin-Israel explores the origins and symbolism of the apple as the forbidden fruit in the story of the Fall of Man. The book examines the visual and linguistic representations of the apple throughout history, drawing from religious texts such as the Hebrew Bible, the Greek Septuagint, and early Christian commentaries. Yadin-Israel's study integrates various case studies and artworks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the apple's significance in religious iconography. While the book may leave some unanswered questions for art historians, it successfully demonstrates the importance of interdisciplinary scholarship in uncovering the roots and impact of the apple tradition.
