Our Living Bible

FROM THE PUBLISHER

In view of the all but incredible archaeological discoveries in recent years, vast new dimensions in our understanding of Biblical lands, the people of the Bible, and the Bible itself have been opened to us.Our Living Bible was conceived as a work that would tell the story of the Books of Books in the light of these ancient treasures unearthed in modern times and meticulously studied. Such visual records, drawings, ritual objects, and monuments, described as they are in this volume, provide valuable aids to a full appreciation of the Bible. In addition, they offer a fascinating reconstruction of the life and culture of Biblical times--knowledge previously accessible to specialists, but now given comprehensive treatment for the general reader.
