This new look at the Bible presents an entirely different way of understanding and enjoying the greatest story ever told. An invaluable family reference work as well as fascinating history, it brings new insights into the great ages of the Old and New Testaments. In its pages Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and all of the other great figures 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. More than 200 color photos show Biblical sites and artifacts that still exist today. Striking landscape photographs capture the beauty and drama of the Holy Land in a way that evokes the stirring times of the Bible. Informative maps show the places and terrain where the people of the Old and New Testaments made their migrations, built their cities, fought their wars, and nurtured their enduring faith. - from Amzon
