From biblical times to today, people have found meaning and
significance in the actions and symbolism of birds. We admire their
mystery and manners, their strength and fragility, their beauty and
their ugliness and perhaps compare these very characteristics to
our own lives in the process.
From the well-known image of the dove to the birds that gorge on
the flesh of the defeated beast in Revelation, birds play a dynamic
part in Scripture. They bring bread to the prophets. They are food
for the wanderers. As sacrifices, they are the currency of mercy.
They also challenge, offend, devour, and fight.
Highlighting 10 birds throughout Scripture, author Debbie Blue
explores their significance in both familiar and unfamiliar
biblical stories and illustrates how and why they have represented
humanity across culture, Christian tradition, art, and contemporary
psyche. With these (usually) minor characters at the forefront of
human imaginations, poignant life lessons illuminate such qualities
as desire and gratitude, power and vulnerability, insignificance
and importance and provide us with profound lessons about humanity,
faith, and God's mysterious grace."
