Synopsis
Did the whale swallow Jonah, or could the culprit have been a great white shark? What kind of animals were Leviathan and Behemoth? What sort of lions confronted Daniel in the Den, and from where did they originate? Did the great plagues of Egypt really happen? Why are animals classified as “clean” and “unclean?” And why are mythical beasts—like unicorns, satyrs, and cocatrices—mentioned in the Bible? Beasts of the Field answers all these questions, and many more, about the birds, bees, and beasts that inhabit the extraordinarily varied landscape of the Levant. An award-winning wildlife filmmaker and biologist, Michael Bright is a senior producer with the BBC’s world-renowned Natural History Unit.

About the Author
Award-winning wildlife filmmaker, author and biologist Michael Bright examines what was written in the Bible about wild and domesticated animals, and, in separating fact from fiction, discovers that some of the ancient Bible writers were remarkably good field naturalists. A senior producer with the BBC's world-renowned Natural History Unit, Michael Bright has written numerous books on wildlife. He lives in Bishopston, Bristol.
Review
A unique study of the Bible as natural history—from the Garden of Eden to Noah’s Ark, Jonah and the Whale to the Plagues of Egypt.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Did the whale swallow Jonah, or could the culprit have been a great white shark? What kind of animals were Leviathan and Behemoth? What sort of lions confronted Daniel in the Den and from where did they originate? What were gledes, cankerworms, pygargs, ossifrages and palmerworms? Did the great plagues of Egypt really happen? Why are animals classified as clean or unclean? Why are mythical beasts, such as unicorns, satyrs and cockatrices, mentioned in the Bible? How much of the Supernatural has crept into English translations? This unique book answers all of these questions, and poses others about the birds, bees and beasts that inhabit the extraordinarily varied landscape of the Levant. An original take on natural history as well as an introduction to Bible stories, 'Beasts of the Field' is a crossover title that sheds light on two subjects that are of immense importance and interest. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR005697873
