Illustrated Manners And Customs Of The Bible Super Value Edition

Rating:
Summary: New Illustrated Bible Manners & Customs
Review: A good book for your library. The many photographs, illustrations and brief sidenote articles are well layed out to make it an interesting read. It covers life from Abraham to the Roman Empire of Jesus' day. Each chapter is divided into the following parts: The Land, Government, Religion, Warfare, Housing and Furniture, Diet and Foodstuffs, Dress, Family Life, and Work/Travel/Commerce. The only drawback is that it does not contain a comprehensive index for looking up specific topics.
