Some bad American Bible character (4)
I believe the answer is:
adam
'character' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'some bad american bible' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ADAM' is hidden in the letters of 'bad american bible'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for adam that I've seen before include "First person" , "Father of Cain and Abel" , "expelled gardener" , "Faith, for example" , "Biblical first human" .)
