What is it about a garden that has such strong attraction for so many of us? In this beautifully illustrated book, Sara Covin Juengst answers this question as she explores the way the metaphor of the garden is used in the Bible. She looks at how the various garden images are used to convey ideas of God's providential care, our responsibility to steward the earth, the discipline of the Christian life, what it means to bear fruit, and the harvest waiting for us in the "new heaven and earth." She also discusses ancient gardening routines, such as plowing, planting, and pruning, to shed light on the significance of the symbolism used in biblical passages that use these images. 248 Jue l0664256341 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 248 Jue l E09002681 Non Fiction 248 Jue l-2 E09007443 Non Fiction 248 Jue l 71f8IMvLF1L._AC_UL320_.jpg 28131 2014-11-13 14:39:41 2025-01-20 16:22:07 machine generated
