Birds of the Bible: A Guide For Bible Readers and Birdwatchers
Peter GoodfellowPaperback 2013-11-28
Birds are mentioned repeatedly in the Bible. They play a big role in illustrating the authors' intentions and in describing the characters in the stories.
Whether you're a dedicated birdwatcher or an armchair Attenborough, this book is a real treat! It covers all of the bird species in Scripture, presenting a mix of ornithological data and commentary on the birds' biblical significance. With exquisite watercolour illustrations, it's an ideal gift!
The Prologue sets the scene by giving a simple description of the topography and climate in Israel, so that readers - wherever they are - may get a sense of what the place is like. The ensuing chapters cover topics such as the creation of birds; bird migration; Job's birds; birds and Jesus; and singing and nesting birds.
