Description

Biblical Body Language aims to deepen the appreciation of biblical symbolism in regard to the human body, and its importance from a faith perspective. To fully explain the body imagery of the bible, the author evaluates biblical imagery in general, the body language of the Hebrews, and how they used body imagery to communicate their beliefs to others.
