Herbs Of The Bible Customer Review: Herbs Facts
Just the Facts, how true the herbs mentioned in the Bible are something to enjoy reading about and remembering.
Customer Review: Nice Book
Firstly, the author is doing himself something of a discredit in the title. The text covers the historical use of herbs and casts a far wider net than the Judean / Christian bible. Other traditions and sources are considered such as Celtic, Greek and Roman (albeit the emphasis is definitely biblical).

The book makes fascinating reading and works well in numerous areas. Description of the origin, naming and early use of herbs is very interesting. Plant use, propagation techniques and harvesting are all well described.

There are a few very nice color plates but illustrations are not a strong point of this well written book. There are some nice suggestions for biblical herb gardens that are open to the public.

I'm not a botanist and don't have much interest in the bible; but I am fascinated by herbs (suppose the productive use of plants in general) - I really enjoyed this book.
