Body Symbolism in the Bible is a popular presentation of theological anthropology -the science of the human body related with specialized religious study- in terms of the symbolism of various parts of the body. ... These, among many other physical parts, are symbolically expressed in the bible, and methodically interpreted in these texts. ...
According to the Bible, the most interesting part of the body, that I found is the throat, which is synonymous with the person and life force. ... These sounds go beyond the body, and therefore the throat is the life force of the body.
The belly is another part of the human body explained in this book. ...
The head is the center of the body. Beheading does not just kill the body; it destroys the person. ...
The book Body Symbolism in the Bible has its strengths as a fine introduction to the body language of the Bible. Schroer and Staubli make it eminently clear that the body is a guide to both culture and cosmos, and that it is impossible to understand the Bible without understanding how the world of the Bible understood the body. ... Similarly, the wonderful ancient and modern works of art in the book serve to illustrate conclusions drawn from the study of the Bible rather than as sources of a better understanding the Bible.
