Publisher's Synopsis
""Traces of Picture Writing in the Bible"" by Henry A. Miles is a scholarly work that explores the use of pictorial language in the Bible. The author argues that the biblical texts contain elements of picture writing, which were used by the ancient Israelites to convey complex ideas and narratives. Through a detailed analysis of various biblical passages, Miles demonstrates how the use of images and symbols can enhance our understanding of the text and its meaning. He also examines the historical and cultural context in which the Bible was written, shedding light on the ways in which pictorial language was used in ancient Israelite society. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars of biblical studies, as well as anyone interested in the history of language and communication.1870.
