[Ben B · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wish I had the time and the mental capacity to study this book to the point that I could recall it as necessary. I have not read it all the way through, and I just know I'm missing lots of meanings in the Bible because I don't understand the context as well as I should. What I have read has been very impressive.

The book has detailed illustrations and text on the history and culture of the people living through the time periods of the books of the Bible. a decent companion for anyone interested in studying and understanding the bible on a spiritual level or on a historical level.

Very helpful little book especially for those of us who have not yet had the chance to study ancient history in great detail but still take exegesis seriously.
