About This Book

The work surveys every creature named in the Scriptures, offering a natural-history description for each species followed by explanations of the biblical passages in which it appears. Entries address identification, habits, habitat, and cultural associations, and draw on Egyptian and Assyrian monuments, travelers' observations, and regional geography to clarify ancient references. Illustrations are taken from living specimens and archaeological imagery to illuminate metaphors and symbolic language. The overall aim is to enable readers to interpret scriptural animal imagery more accurately by applying zoology and related sciences.
