Animals of the Bible

Animals of the Bible: The Creatures That Point to Christ

The Bible is a living world, and its creatures carry meaning: the Lamb slain, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Dove descending, the serpent lifted up in the wilderness. Each page below follows one animal through Scripture, tells honestly where its meaning is stated and where it is drawn out by later readers, and shows how so many of them lead, in the end, to Jesus.
