boats
boats There are not many references to boats in the OT since the Hebrews were not a seafaring people; indeed the sea had connotations of
evil (Ps. 107: 26; cf. Rev. 21: 1). However, in the NT boats are familiar parts of the scenery since Jesus called fisher-men to be
disciples and sometimes addressed people on the shore from a boat (Mark 4: 1). A boat soon became a symbol in Christian art; both the cradle and the coffin are shaped like boats, so the boat is an apt symbol of
birth and
death, of new birth and
resurrection (a journey by boat into the next world).
