Birds & Bibles in History (Monochrome Version)

Viac o knihe

The book offers a thorough scientific exploration of the 409 bird references found in Christian Bibles, blending Biblical Hebrew studies with ornithology. Spanning twelve years of research, it includes insights on the evolution of ornithology from ancient writers to modern influences, while addressing topics like migration and extinction. It also discusses the development of Bibles and the importance of textual criticism. Featuring detailed information on thirty-six bird species and their historical significance, the work challenges the notion that Aristotle was the first ornithologist, attributing this title to Biblical authors instead. The monochrome edition includes 120 color photographs for visual enhancement.
