Beastly Good
Biblical Meditations
Animals always play a significant role in ancient myths, fables such as those of Aesop, fairy tales and legends by the Brothers Grimm. Many animals also appear in the Bible: A supposedly stubborn donkey speaks to the prophet Balaam, Noah saves all species from the great flood in his ark at God’s bidding and the world owes the dove of peace with an olive branch in its beak to this event. Apocalyptic horsemen – messengers of famine, war and death – announce the end of times. They are animals that convey messages to people that have a lasting impact on their lives. In 25 biblical meditations, Paul M. Zulehner invites us to discover the beauty of these animals and their message to us – for our everyday life and our spiritual life, which is interwoven with it.
