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.
