Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The focus of this Special Issue is on the literary and theological interpretations of the Hebrew Bible concerning flora and flora. From the very beginning , flora and fauna play an important role in the Hebrew Bible, demonstrating theological, political, and literary significance. The biblical writer uses plants and animals to convey a variety of subtle messages and meanings. As such, the narratives in the Hebrew text cannot be understood without close examination and understanding of the use and presence of flora and fauna in these texts. In a time of global climate change, revealing the importance of trees, plants, and animals in the Hebrew corpus, elucidated their continued importance in the modern world, and indirectly, the need for their continued preservation and protection.
