Summary "Bible Animals: Being a Description of Every Living Creature Mentioned in the Scriptures" by Rev. J. G. Wood is a zoological reference work written in the late 19th century. The book aims to illuminate the natural history of various animals referenced in the Bible, providing descriptions and contexts that help the reader understand their symbolic and literal significance in Scripture. It combines zoological facts with biblical citations, making it valuable for both natural historians and biblical scholars. The opening portion of the work starts with a preface discussing the importance of understanding the natural history of animals mentioned in the Bible to fully grasp the text's metaphors and symbols. Wood emphasizes that many animals can enhance the clarity of scriptural interpretations and lays out his methodology for approaching each creature chronologically as it appears in the scriptures. He begins detailing animals with references to monkeys, exploring their historical context and mentions in biblical texts, and relating them to the life and customs of the people during the time the scriptures were written. Overall, this introduction sets the stage for a detailed exploration of animals within the biblical narrative and provides insights into how they enrich our understanding of the texts.
