About This Book

A natural-history compendium that surveys every creature mentioned in the Scriptures, combining species descriptions, habits, and uses with explanations of the Old and New Testament passages where they appear. The author situates animals within the physical geography and customs of the Near East, compares similar species, and supplies numerous illustrations and index entries to clarify metaphors and symbolic language. Arranged for general readers, the work shows how familiarity with animal life illuminates scriptural imagery and practical references to sacrifice, husbandry, hunting, and everyday rural economy.
