Trees and Kings

Book • 2018

William R. Osborne

In 'Trees and Kings', William R. Osborne examines tree metaphors in the texts of Israel's writing prophets, specifically Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, comparing them with tree imagery from the ancient Near East.

The study aims to understand why prophets often use tree metaphors and how these metaphors reflect both Israelite and broader ancient Near Eastern cultural practices.
