Description

Delve into the ancient world where the Scriptures come alive through the creatures that populate its pages. This guide pairs clear, engaging explanations of each animal’s habits, habitats and historical uses with the biblical passages that mention them, revealing the everyday symbols that shaped the language of the text. Richly illustrated with over three hundred drawings drawn from real life, travel sketches and artistic reconstructions, it invites listeners to picture everything from desert camels to humble goats as they were understood by the peoples of the Near East.

The author’s background in natural history and theology ensures a blend of scientific insight and accessible storytelling, making the material suitable for both curious newcomers and seasoned readers. By exploring the cultural and ecological context of each species, the work uncovers layers of meaning often missed in modern reading. Listeners will come away with a deeper appreciation of how the animal kingdom frames the moral and spiritual lessons woven throughout the biblical narrative.
