Description:   An invaluable family reference work as well as fascinating history. It brings new insights into the great ages of the Old and New Testaments. Great people of the bible are seen in the context of their own times. Both text and illustrations link the timeless stories of the Bible with the most recent archaeological discoveries. We learn more about the customs and times of the Patriarchs such as the clothing, food, weapons soldiers used, even ideas men had and language – ie. The Jews of Jesus’ Jerusalem spoke a language unknown to Isaiah. What united the people of the bible – great and small, was their faith in the Lord.
Each historical period is presented with a description of the times and the story of each of the great people is told, the Biblical account is mingled with fascinating new information and explanations that illuminate the stories in a vital way. Details of everyday life are given a special immediacy thanks to the discoveries of modern archaeology. A long-lost inscription accidentally uncovered by two boys, for example, describes the remarkable engineering feat accomplished by King Hezekiah in diverting water from the spring of Gihon into the city of Jerusalem.
- more than 100 carefully researched drawings and accurate architectural renderings of the temples, palaces, houses, cities, fortresses, and more
- more than 200 color photos show biblical sites and artifacts that still exist today. Landscape photos capture the beauty and drama of the Holy Land
- informative maps show the places and terrain where the people of the Old and new Testament made their migrations, built their cities, fought their wars, and nurtured their enduring faith.
Hardcover, 8-1/2” x 11”, 432 pages, Readers Digest Edition 432 pgs. Very good condition except book jacket which shows some wear and inside the front cover, someone’s name is blanked out with liquid paper white-out.
