A Rare Find -- Gems and Christianity,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gems and Minerals of the Bible (Paperback)
If you're looking for a book on gems without the new age slant, then this is your book. With all of the interest in spiritual healing properties and use of gems in new age practices, it's difficult to find a book dedicated solely to the gemstones and minerals mentioned in the Christian Old and New Testaments (and Apocrypha). Although some of the authors' opinions are up for debate in light of recent archeaological discoveries, the book succinctly covers basic information on the gems and minerals (asphalt?) used in Bible verses. The verse references are useful to go back and determine the context used, and for additional research. A 2000+ update of this book would be a welcome volume as well (this version published in 1970). A very easy, enjoyable and useful read for anyone interested in gems and Christianity.

This review is from: GEMS AND MINERALS OF THE BIBLE (Hardcover)
This is a superb research book to add meaning to your beadwork and to learn more about the Bible's gems. I used it as reference for a program for our church, & then showed examples of some of the gems & minerals.
