Explore the plants that shaped biblical scenes and imagery, from olive groves to cedar forests.
This non‑fiction guide examines the vegetation of Palestine and its neighbors, and how plants inspired the Bible’s imagery. It explains how climate, elevation, and geography produced a rich mix of trees and shrubs that appear throughout sacred text. The work connects natural history with biblical interpretation, helping readers picture the landscapes where scripture was written.
Readers will find grounded descriptions of familiar species and regional differences—coastal plains, Jordan valley, and table‑lands—along with notes on how the vine, olive, sycamore fig, aloes, balsam, and other plants feature in scripture and tradition. The book also discusses how ancient farming, forestry, and landscape change shaped biblical references and memory.
Ideal for readers of biblical history, archaeology, and plant lore who want a clear, grounded view of the natural world behind sacred texts.
