Other than God and people, the Bible mentions trees more than any other living thing. There is a tree on the first page of Genesis, in the first psalm, on the first page of the New Testament, and on the last page of Revelation. Every significant moment in the Bible seems to be marked by a tree. That’s why Alan Jacobs says: “If you understand the trees, you understand the story.” During September, as our PNW trees start to turn colors and autumn is upon us, we’ll take a look together at the Trees of the Bible, and how they help us to understand what it’s all about.
