Abstract

Biblical literature abounds with imagery, metaphors, similes, and other turns of phrase taken from the world of nature—such as the flora, fauna, cli-mate, and geography—with which the authors were familiar. These analogies reflect the influence our environment exerts on our emotional and intellectual perception of the world. [from the Introduction]
