Consider not only the lilies of the field, but all the plants, trees, herbs, shrubs, and flowers that play a role in the biblical narrative through this illustrated guide. From the barley Ruth harvested to the hyssop David craved, from the frankincense the wise men brought to Jesus to the sycamore tree Zacchaeus climbed, the Bible is peppered with allusions to the plants that were a part of daily life in the ancient Near East and in New Testament Israel. With original illustrations, this beautiful gift book clarifies the biblical references to fifty plants and provides delightful new insights into the Word of God. Includes indexes to each plant and its corresponding Scripture references, a calendar of Jewish festivals and the growing seasons in Israel, and tips for growing your own biblically inspired garden.
From the Publisher
A beautiful, illustrated guide to 50 plants in the Bible, with a summary of their cultural settings and botanical facts, and a featured biblical passage.
Pomegranate
Rather than being a dictionary of the plants mentioned in the Bible, In the Garden, with its original illustrations and plant descriptions, is meant to spark the reader’s spiritual imagination.
Cedar of Lebanon
The plants mentioned in the Bible, as with all of God’s good creation, call out to us to wonder (Psalm 19:1), to worship (Luke 19:40; Romans 1:20), and to wait (Romans 8:19–23).
Grape Vine
From the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the garden of Eden to the Tree of Life with twelve kinds of fruit in the new Jerusalem, the story of God’s people has included plants of all kinds.
Corncockle
Our calendars might be filled with shopping lists, appointment reminders, and project deadlines, but the Israelites’ calendar was full of the sowing and harvesting of a variety of crops. Even their worship reflected the rhythm of the seasons.
