The Trees of the Bible
The Trees of the Bible, From Eden to the New Jerusalem
The Bible begins and ends among trees. A tree of life and a tree of knowledge in Eden, a Branch from the stump of Jesse, a fig tree cursed, a mustard seed become a tree, a true vine, and at the center a cross that the apostles dared to call a tree. And the last page of Scripture returns to the tree of life, its leaves for the healing of the nations. Each page below follows one, to Christ.
