For hundreds of years, the plants of the Bible have intrigued believers and botanists alike. Scores of books, written from various perspectives of the subject, have been authored over the years. Nearly 100 plants are spoken of in the Holy Scriptures, but not all of them allude to the Messiah. Redemptive Botany of the Bible is a theological work never before undertaken. Building upon the scientific research of many writers before him, author J. Christopher McMichael employs a scientific hermeneutic to provide a thorough commentary on the symbolism, typology, soteriology, and Christology of over 15 plants of the Bible (though dozens of other Bible plants are discussed as well). Aside from the chapters dedicated to numerous plants, this monumental work also includes chapters regarding the history of science, the history of botany, and the agriculture of ancient Israel. Other subjects woven in and out of this commentary include geology, archeology, Egyptology, metallurgy, and perfumery.
