[About the Book]

—Revisiting the Bible in an Age of Environmental Crisis—

In this insightful volume, an agricultural scientist and biblical scholar invites us to listen anew to the words of the Bible through the lens of “food and agriculture.”
Drawing from Scripture as well as his own life experiences, the author reveals the deeper messages of life and peace embedded within biblical teachings.

Having lived through the devastation of World War II, he reflects on memories of hunger and fear, while offering a perspective shaped by a lifetime devoted to the land.
Through these reflections, the author provides profound insights—nourishment for both the body and the soul.

How should we engage with food and farming, and how should we live in harmony with nature?
Perhaps the answers lie quietly within the Bible itself.

[Editor's Comment]

Did you know that the Bible contains numerous references to food?
Few readers have explored Scripture through the themes of food and agriculture, but this book offers an opportunity to do just that.
By reading the Bible from this new perspective, you may discover valuable hints for addressing today’s global issues—food insecurity, environmental destruction, and the search for sustainable living.
