Download or read book Reforesting Faith written by Matthew Sleeth and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking walk through Scripture by former physician and carpenter Dr. Matthew Sleeth makes the convincing case that trees reveal more about God and faith than you ever imagined. “Christians looking to reconnect to the natural world will relish Sleeth’s passionate call to Christian stewardship of the Earth.”—Publishers Weekly Fifteen years ago, Matthew Sleeth believed that science and logic held the answers to everything. But when tragedy struck, he opened the Bible for the first time and was surprised to find that God chose to tell the gospel story through a trail of trees. There’s a tree on the first page of Genesis, in the first psalm, on the first page of the New Testament, and on the last page of Revelation. The Bible’s wisdom is referred to as a tree of life. Every major biblical character and every major theological event has a tree marking the spot. A tree was the only thing that could kill Jesus—and the only thing Jesus ever harmed. Reforesting Faith is the rare book that builds bridges by connecting those who love the Creator with creation and those who love creation with the Creator. Join Dr. Sleeth as he explores the wonders of life, death, and rebirth through the trail of trees in Scripture. Once you discover the hidden language of trees, your walk through the woods—and through Scripture—will never be the same.

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.
Download or read book A Dictionary of Bible Plants written by Lytton John Musselman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-12-19 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes and illustrates each plant mentioned in the Old and New Testaments and the Apocrypha. The book draws on Lytton John Musselman's extensive field investigations from Beirut to Borneo and from the Atlas to the Zagros mountains and includes his original images of each plant. Incorporating new research on their use, the text also reviews recent analytical studies of plants used in materials and technology as well as ancient grains, beer production, medicine, tensile materials, soap, and other articles. Based on these materials, Musselman provides several new plant identifications for controversial biblical passages. In addition, the book surveys the history of Bible plant literature from the time of the Greeks and Romans to the present and reviews and correlates it with Bible plant hermeneutics. To aid readers, extensive references for further study are provided, along with an index to all verses containing references to these plants, which enables the reader to quickly locate the plant of interest in its textual setting.

Download or read book Gardening with Biblical Plants written by Wilma Roberts James and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1983 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Date palm and almond tree, cypress and pomegranate, wheat and cucumbers: these are just a few of the familiar plants mentioned in the Holy Bible. Shrubs, trees, vines, flowers, and food-bearing plants appear throughout the pages of the Scriptures, often used to emphasize a message in a Bible story. Now the gardener in the city or the countryside can become better acquainted with these very special plants by growing and tending them. Gardening with Biblical Plants, by Wilma James, is a complete guide to Scriptural plants and how and where to grow them. "Whether you garden indoors or out, you experience a sense of God's presence while working with plants that kept company with biblical people and become more aware of the important role plants played in the stories of the Scriptures," writes Ms. James. Gardening with Biblical Plants covers over 100 trees, shrubs, herbs, spices, water plants, flowers, and food plants. Ms. James prefaces her instructions for growing each plant with a discussion of habitats, the purpose it served in the Bible, and ways the plant was valued in biblical times. Bible verse that mention each plant are specified, and one verse is directly quoted. In addition to instructions for growing biblical plants indoors or out, Ms. James offers ideas for groupings in keeping with the Scriptures. Carefully prepared line drawings, by Arla Lippsmeyer, aid in identification. Experienced and beginning gardeners alike will not only find that Gardening with Biblical Plants enhances their appreciation of God's Word, but also provides concrete help in planting.

Excerpt: ...39; John viii. 1); and it was from the Mount Olivet that the disciples witnessed the ascension of their Master (Acts i. 12). In the prophecies regarding the glorious latter days, allusion is also made to the Mount of Olives (Zech. xiv. 4). Some very old olivetrees still exist on the Mount. The tree is of slow growth, and seldom attains a greater height than twenty or thirty feet. There are two varieties of olive-tree, distinguished as the long-leaved, which is cultivated in the south of France and Italy, and the broadleaved in Spain. The wild olive, called by the Greeks Agri-elaia, was a low spiny tree, the branches of which were grafted on the cultivated olive. Hence the allusion by St Paul in Eomans xi. 17, 24. The evergreen nature of the tree causes the Psalmist to exclaim, "I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God" (Ps. lii. 8); and Jeremiah says, "The Lord called thy name A green olive-tree" (Jer. xi. 16). The timber of the tree was used for furniture, and for ornamental carvings. In the temple it was used in the carvings, in forming the posts of the doors, and in the construction of the cherubim (1 Kings vi. 23, 31, 32). Its branches were employed at the Feast of Tabernacles (Neh. viii. 15). The bark of the tree has tonic properties. The oil expressed from the fruit was used in the temple and for anointing (Exod. xxv. 6; xxx. 23-25; xxxv. 14; xxxix. 37; Lev. viii. 12) The treading of the olive, and the expressing of its oil and the col_ lecting of it in vats, are alluded to by Micah and Joel (Mic. vi. 15; Joel ii. 24; iii. 13). The fatness of the olive-tree is noticed in Judges ix. 9, and in Komans xi. 17. The value of the trees required that there should be overseers to attend to them (1 Chron. xxvii....
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.
