Reader Reviews:

Excellent for a first time bible reader. (4/4 people found this helpful)

I found the illustrated bible easy to understand, interesting and precise. In today's busy world the ability to quickly get an overview of both testaments was wonderful. I would recommend to anyone wanting to "get started" with the bible. If you can only read one "bible" this should be it.

DK brings a greater understanding to God's Word. (3/3 people found this helpful)

Understanding the cultural and political environments of Biblical times may help your family better understand the Bible. Dorling-Kindersley blends illustration, historical perspective, and the political reality of the day to present an informative and scholarly look at the life and times of the Bible.

An example is the story of the Magi visiting the baby Jesus. Historical and political references point out that the Magi did not visit the Christ Child on the day of His birth, but rather later, at His "house". This insight, along with the information about the shepherds and why they were told the "Glad Tidings" first, help bring the Joyous Christmas Story to life. This title is highly recommended as a supplement to a family's Bible Study hour. Use it to answer questions and to encourage further study into our Father's Word.
