Download or read book Baker Encyclopedia of Bible Plants written by F. N. Hepper and published by Baker Publishing Group. This book was released on 1992 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Bible is full of references to trees and plants. Jesus himself frequently used flowers and fruits to illustrate his teaching. But which flower is meant by 'lily of the field'? Why did the Hebrews use the hissop plant to daub their lintels? What role did the olive tree and its fruit play in the ancient economy? This book sets out to answer these and many other questions. In recent years much scientific and archaeological research has been devoted to the botany of Bible lands, and many new and exciting facts discovered. Nigel Hepper has distilled the expertise of a long career at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and much information not readily available to the general reader, in this new and comprehensive study of the plants, flowers, trees and vegetables of Bible lands. The Baker Encyclopedia of Bible Plants will help the Bible reader to: understand the many Bible references to plants; grasp the meaning of Old Testament imagery; be involved with the everyday examples Jesus used in his teaching; find meaning in the symbolism of art which used flowers and plants; be informed about land use, misuse and conservation [how plants affected the culture, lifestyle and agriculture reflected in Scripture]."--Jacket.

Download or read book Figs Dates Laurel and Myrrh written by Lytton John Musselman and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book celebrates the plants of the Old Testament and New Testament, including the Apocrypha, and of the Quran. From acacia, the wood of the tabernacle, to wormwood, whose bitter leaves cured intestinal worms, 81 fascinating chapters—covering every plant that has a true botanical counterpart—tell the stories of the fruits and grains, grasses and trees, flowers and fragrances of ancient lore. The descriptions include the plants' botanical characteristics, habitat, uses, and literary context. With evocative quotations and revelatory interpretations, this information is all the more critical today as the traditional agrarian societies that knew the plants intimately become urbanized. The unusually broad geographic range of this volume extends beyond Israel to encompass the Holy Land's biblical neighbors from southern Turkey to central Sudan and from Cyprus to the Iraq border. Richly illustrated with extensive color photography and with a foreword by the incomparable Garrison Keillor, this delightful ecumenical botany offers the welcome tonic of a deep look into an enduring, shared natural heritage.

For the first time it is now possible, for most of the biblical plants, to refer to archaeological finds, dated to the biblical period. "I find that Dr. Jensens work is not only accurate but it is also very interesting. This work should be accepted and enjoyed world wide. Dr Arnold L. Larsen, Director and Professor emeritus, Colorado State University, Ft. Collins, Colorado, USA. It is a great pleasure for me to recommend the book PLANT WORLD OF THE BIBLE authored by Hans Arne Jensen. This book is a careful description of all plants mentioned in the Bible. It provides a botanical description of each plant, a discussion of its identification, as well as its occurrences in the Bible. Furthermore, it contains valuable information on archaeological finds of the plants. It is well structured and with beautiful colour illustrations and black/white drawings. The book is a result of the authors thorough botanic knowledge and it is based on recent international scholarly and scientific literature within various fields such as biblical studies, archaeology, and cultural history. Thus, the book is the successful outcome of an interdisciplinary work. It is an important contribution to the study of the cultural history of the plants as well as the cultural background of the Bible. I have no doubt that this book will generate a widespread interest among Biblical readers as well as academics such as botanists, archaeologists, cultural history scholars and biblical scholars.
