Description Correspondences of the Bible: Plants represent the more passive characteristics of our personalities, living examples of how knowledge takes root in our mind and how that knowledge inspires us to act. Every part of a plant has its own special meaning, from its seeds and the shape of its leaves to the sweetness of flowers and fruit. The Plants shows us how we can draw spiritual inspiration from the plants we use every day for food, clothing, shelter, and decoration. After covering the plants themselves, Worcester explores the parts of the natural world that sustain plant life – from the ground beneath our feet to sunlight, water, and air.

Science blends with biblical lore to illuminate humanity’s deeply interconnected relationships with the world around us.
