worthwhile

This is a delightful book to have in a collection of Bible study resources. It is a brief survey of interesting aspects of life in Biblical times with full page illustrations. The drawings are a powerful tool for comprehending a land and lifestyle that is foriegn to us and helps set the scenes of the Bible with context.

The text of the book is brief, but informative. The first chapter of the book describing the political backround of the gospels is first rate; the best summary I've ever read on this complicated subject. Sorting out the political dynamics within Judea as well as the Roman political intrigues, and how they clash is the only way to fully understand the gospel.

This book is worthwhile because it has something for everybody. You could use it to teach young kids as well as adults, and it is also an enjoyable read.

A Delightful Intellectual Snack

This book is hardly a weighty academic tome. On the contrary, it is an easy-to-sample, beautifully designed and printed little overview of things, great and trivial, at the time Jesus lived. Do not expect to be profoundly educated by this book. Do expect to be entertained and to learn.

GOOD BASIC INFORMATION

MY FAMILY REALLY ENJOYED THE PICTURES AND HISTORICAL CONTENT. ENOUGH INFORMATION FOR ALL AGES TO ENJOY. I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED HISTORY AND ON THIS ALONE WAS VERY INTERESTING, THE PRESENTATION WAS ALSO EASY FOR THE YOUNGER MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY TO UNDERSTAND. A VALUED PART OF OUR BIBICAL LIBRARY.
