The Beast's Nature : The Use of the Animal Variety in New Testament and Its Envir

It maybe seems paradox a biblical study to grample with the animals' use and their behavior in the first texts of christianism and not with its own members and their attitudes. Although, the fact that it is an unattended issue, it maybe give the opportunity to bring to the light unknown points of interest the author's of New Testament books or the way of knowledge which did they have not only for their own world but their knoledge about the animals with which shared the same environment. Initially, the purpose of this study is to write down the array of the animal variety which is used in New Testament. Then, this study intends to proceed in the way of use of the variable species either they are domestics, pets or they are wild animals. Here, our interest focuses on on the real animal and not on the fabled even though the latest are unfortunately more popular to christians readers of the biblical texts. It is especially important to examine why almost all the animals, except to only two cases, are treated symbolically as a point of the evil world by the authors of the religious texts of Judaism and christianism too.
