A modern man is accidentally sent back in time 166 years to
California at the time of the Mexican occupation. He survives,
lives a long full life, and manages to leave proof that he went
back in time to be found in the future. This proof stimulates
research eventually leading to teleportation and limited time
travel.
Animals and Birds occupy a prominent place in the Bible accounts.
Nevertheless, it is rare to find a study of this important study
from both a Biblical and a scientific standpoint. Both animals and
birds appear in historical references, in mentions of nature, in
the sacrifices, in their use as foods, in their use as labor, as
transport, and of war. Both animals and birds are mentioned in
prophetic passages also. Animal products are frequently a part of
the Biblical story as well. The Lord Jesus often used both animals
and birds in His teachings. For instance, that He might convey the
idea that possible privations awaited any who would follow Him,
Jesus used foxes to compare with His own lack. Many other analogies
are used by our Lord, such as between being fishers of fish and
fishers of men; such as His mention of a snake and a scorpion in
Luke 11:11, 12 in relation to prayer. There are also frequent
metaphorical uses of animals and birds. In this study Dr. Burton
Goddard gives both ZOOLOGICAL and ORNITHOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATIONS of
all the animals and birds mentioned in the Bible. However, this
study is not limited to the scientific identifications, but an
alphabetical listing by English names is also given. Under each
English name appears the original Hebrew word for the animal or
bird. This results in the surprising discovery to readers that
there are many Hebrew words employed by the Biblical writers for
the same English word. For instance, seventeen Hebrew words are
used for goat. Also included are additional discussions regarding
the description of, and use of such animals and birds, how and
where they appear in the Bible, and many other useful bits of
knowledge. This compact, butvery thorough study is taken from the
article in The Encyclopedia of Christianity, Volumes I and II
(1964, 1968), and is presented here to give this excellent
information a wider audience. Burton L. Goddard was the
much-degreed librarian at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary,
South Hamilton, MA. He was the librarian for over forty years, and
a principal in the administration of the seminary as well.
