The Lion Encyclopedia of the Bible

Taking a chronological approach to the story line of the Bible, this authoritative resource integrates and explores the Bible's historical, geographical, and social origins. It also overviews the different types of writing found within the texts and shows how they relate to Christian beliefs. Lavishly illustrated with maps, diagrams, and feature boxes that highlight the salient points of the Old and New Testaments as well as their influences throughout the centuries, this is an essential guide to the Bible.
