The narratives, figures and recurring themes of the Bible are set out book by book in a visual reference from the Big Ideas series.
Entries summarise passages from Genesis through Revelation, with charts, maps and timelines supplying the historical and geographical setting in which the texts were written and passed on. The treatment stays descriptive, presenting what the texts say and how they have been read rather than arguing a position.
A note on approach:
• Coverage of both Old and New Testament books in order
• Maps and timelines locating events in their historical setting
• Explanations of key figures, passages and recurring motifs
• A descriptive tone suited to study groups and independent reading
Students of religion, discussion groups and readers seeking background on the text will find this DK Publishing reference at Boipoka.
