All Kinds of Scented Wood

References to trees and wood fill the Bible from beginning to end, adding to its literary and historical value and enlarging its storehouse of inspirational treasures. They reflect keen observation, practical experience, and conditions of everyday life in the biblical world. Whether in the form of pictures, stories, messages, or poems, these treasures are resources that we may use to enlarge our faith. This book surveys woods and woodworking in the Bible, their place in Jesus' preparation for his ministry, and what the scriptural allusions to trees, wood, and woodworking meant to Him as a carpenter and master builder.
