Description

There is a literal zoo of animals mentioned in the Bible and its non-canonical books. The early Hebrews, Egyptians, Romans, Persians and Greeks all enjoyed household pets or service-type animals, but there’s a whole dictionary of critters, wild or unique in the texts. In this zoo are also creatures we’ve relegated to myth, beasts like unicorns, dragons and leviathans. Nearly a dozen monsters controlled by the Divine walked the Earth on occasion. In this animal allergy-free presentation, we’ll take a look at the various ‘fantastic fauna’ inhabiting the Bible’s pages.
