Healing Plants of the Bible by Vincenzina Krymow
An invitation to consider not only the lilies of the field but dozens of other flowers, herbs, trees and plants mentioned in the Bible, acquainting you with 38 of the plants most often appearing in the Scriptures and giving the lore behind their medical properties and meditations that focus on their ability to heal the spirit. Fully illustrated there is also an appendix offering scriptural and medicinal information on 40 additional plants. This book will help you learn the origin of the manna that sustained the Israelites in the desert, of the balm with which Jesus' feet were anointed, of the gall which was offered to him on the cross. It will tell legends of miraculous healing properties possesed by plants and help you design your own Scripture garden.
Even if not religious, gardeners will find this work of interestAs the subtitle suggests, it looks at the history, lore and origins of plants mentioned in the Bible, attractively depicted with the coloured woodcuts of artist A. Joseph Barrish. Sister M. Jean Frisk adds meditations to each species, bringing to the whole a spiritual feel. But non-believers should not stop here. Written by Vincenzina Krymow, it is a botanically sound investigation into plants which frequently appear under different names in the Bible and were grown in the Middle East during biblical times. Tracing the references from the Ancient World through to Jesus' time, it is a fascinating insight into the history of that time with plants grown then still cultivated today. Many are now grown for their ornamental value rather than for their medicinal or healing properties, but many such as garlic, dandelion, fig and silybum are still utilised in time-old medicinal remedies. A book worthy of a place on a gardener's bookshelf as much as that of a Christian. - Lucy Watson
