Book excerpt: "Tree and shrub in our bibilical heritage opens up the living world of the bible and talmud to nature lovers who hike the outdoors, and opens up Israel's nature to sedentary readers. The author provokes us to question and wonder at the weighty significance of something as common as a tree. Why did Abraham choose the tamarisk to plant in Beersheba rather than any other tree? Which tree is the symbol of regeneration? What was the miracle of the burning bush? Which plant served Sampson to fool Delilah and the Philistines? What gimmick was used by King Solomon to amaze visitors in the 'House of the Forest of Lebanon'? Which tree is the symbol of pride, which the symbol of humility. Nogah Hareuveni, founder of Neot Kedumim --The biblical Landscape Reserve in Israel, shows that biblical and Talmudic literature is wondrously woven of natural fibers, richly seeded with terms and concepts integral to the nature and agriculture of the land of Israel. This special edition of Tree and Shrub in Our Biblical Heritage celebrates the 100th anniversary of Keren Kaymeth LeIsrael-JNF..." -- BACK COVER.

Download or read book The Torah and the Stoics on humankind and nature written by J.J. Boersema and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-09-06 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The environmental problematique is intimately bound up with deep-seated human attitudes regarding our relationship with nature. Here in the west those attitudes have been shaped to no small degree by the canonical texts of the Bible and the classical philosophers. In this book the author re-examines some of these seminal texts, arguing that what we today know as 'Christian cosmology' is in fact a grafting of classical Greek philosophy onto ancient Israelite thought, with certain valuable traditions being all but lost in the process. The dietary laws of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, in particular, still prove surprisingly relevant today. Often misread on this point, the creation narratives of Genesis can likewise serve as a rich point of departure for examining our attitudes towards the natural world. A reappraisal of these sources is necessary and feasible. There is no need for an appeal to cosmologies alien to our own culture, nor for recourse to 'New Age' beliefs in all their variety.

Download or read book Our Future in Nature written by Edmund Barrow and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who has not felt a sense of awe, silence, stillness, and presence in an ancient woodland or forest or in front of a sacred tree? Humankind has held trees and woodlands in awe and reverence since the dawn of time. We depend on nature for the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the services nature provides. This book is about the importance of sacred trees and groves in our stress-filled and increasingly urban world. (Note that over 50 percent of the world is urban.) Sacred trees and sacred groves transcend race, color, and creed. They are found all over our fragile planet. Where there is a tree, there is a sacred tree. This book will appeal to religious and spiritual traditions as well as to conservation and environmental movements. It will offer its reader means to take better care of our only home—planet Earth. Often undervalued, unrecognized, or disrespected, sacred trees and groves are conserved against mind-boggling pressures. For example, there is a sacred fig tree between two shops in one of the main streets in Hanoi, Vietnam. There is also a one-hectare sacred grove in the center of Kumasi, a city of 2.5 million people in Ghana; the over 150,000 sacred groves in India; and the sacred hill forests of every village in Yunnan, South China. Sacred trees and groves often conserve unique biodiversity, which can help create or recreate connectivity in the landscape. As such, sacred trees and groves may be relic survivors of bygone ages and are an important resource for restoring degraded natural landscapes. This book offers ways for those involved with religion and spirituality and for those working with conservation and land use to jointly engage in repairing the damage we have done to Earth.

With historical truth as our guide we raise interesting questions about some possible distortions of our Heritage.

Download or read book Loving and Studying Nature written by Malcolm Skilbeck and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-05 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume investigates crucial ways in which nature has been apprehended, understood and valued in different cultures and over time. It is grounded in current global concerns about growing threats to the natural environment. Through a critical appraisal of specific examples, it ranges widely over historical and contemporary attitudes and behaviours. It presents a wide ranging analysis of selected ideas and attitudes in the evolution mainly of western civilisation, from the time of the cave artists to the present day. It argues for preservation and conservation of the natural resources and beauty of the earth in the face of religious supernatural arguments and the rise of consumer capitalism and consumerism.
Download or read book Biblical Theology written by Geerhardus Vos and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2003-07-10 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is no less than to provide an account of the unfolding of the mind of God in history, through the successive agents of his special revelation. Vos handles this under three main divisions: the Mosaic epoch of revelation, the prophetic epoch of revelation, and the New Testament. Such an historical approach is not meant to supplant the work of the systematic theologian; nevertheless, the Christian gospel is inextricably bound up with history, and the biblical theologian thus seeks to highlight uniqueness of each biblical document in that succession. The rich variety of Scripture is discovered anew as the progressive development of biblical themes is explicated. To read these pages--the fruit of Vos' 39 years of teaching biblical theology at Princeton - is to appreciate the late John Murray's suggestion that Geerhardus Vos was the most incisive exegete in the English-speaking world of the twentieth century.

Download or read book Sacred Natural Sites written by Bas Verschuuren and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred Natural Sites are the world's oldest protected places. This book focuses on a wide spread of both iconic and lesser known examples such as sacred groves of the Western Ghats (India), Sagarmatha /Chomolongma (Mt Everest, Nepal, Tibet - and China), the Golden Mountains of Altai (Russia), Holy Island of Lindisfarne (UK) and the sacred lakes of the Niger Delta (Nigeria). The book illustrates that sacred natural sites, although often under threat, exist within and outside formally recognised protected areas, heritage sites. Sacred natural sites may well be some of the last strongholds for building resilient networks of connected landscapes. They also form important nodes for maintaining a dynamic socio-cultural fabric in the face of global change. The diverse authors bridge the gap between approaches to the conservation of cultural and biological diversity by taking into account cultural and spiritual values together with the socio-economic interests of the custodian communities and other relevant stakeholders.
Download or read book Biblical Heritage Awakening written by Navee Yaacov Yisrael and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011-02-09 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biblical Heritage Awakening, is an exhortation to all Non-Awakened Black African people, nations, tongues, exiles, etc. throughout the world (which do not know Yahavah their Yaheem), who, have not as yet, considered, who they are (Black African Hebrews of the Nation Yisrael, of the BRHAL)? Where they are (still in exile bondage, of the Biblical Black African Hebrew Slave Trade)? And, Where there inheritance lies (promised Motherland of Africa/Yisrael)? Now, without the acceptance of this knowledge, the Non-Awakened Black African Nation (presently, known, and called, throughout the world by false byword lie terms, for their identity, as, So-Negroes, Blacks, Afros, Colored People, exiles, etc.), will always be, still dead to own heritage identity, lost without inspirational directions, without consideration for own inheritance, beliefs, and customs. Now, in order for the Non-Awakened Black African Nation of Yisrael, to become mentally sane, and physically free, they must go back to the basic, of accepting being descendants of their Black African Hebrew Ancestors, of the Biblical Black African Hebrew Slave Trade, and rejecting all falsehood lies and cursed byword terms for their identity, and proudly accept who they really are, Black African Hebrews of the Nation Yisrael, those that are awakened and not dead.
