Plants of the Bible program August 20th

Coming to Garden University on Saturday August 20th, Professor Lytton Musselman will be speaking about Plants of the Bible - enlightening participants on the actual fruits and flowers of biblical times. Was Eve really tempted by an apple? Is mustard mentioned in the Bible? Why are trees so prominent in the Scriptures? Why it is difficult to make bread like that of Bible times. And why no one would eat “Ezekiel’s bread”.

Lytton Musselman is the Mary Payne Hogan Professor of Botany at Old Dominion University and has lived with and studied Bible plants for more than three decades. His most recent book is Figs, Dates, Laurel, and Myrrh Plants of the Bible and Quran published by Timber Press.

A book signing of Figs, Dates, Laurel, and Myrrh Plants of the Bible and Quran will follow the program as will a guided Plants of the Bible tour of the Garden.
