| Résumé : |
The Bible, with its enduring message for men of every age, is the most important collection of writings in the whole of world literature. In view of the all but incredible archaeological discoveries ' in recent years, vast new dimensions in our understanding of Biblical lands, the people of the Bible, and the Bible itself have^ been opened to us.
Our Living Bible was conceived as a work that would tell the story of the Book of Books in the light of these ancient treasures unearthed in modem times and meticulously studied. Such visual records, drawings, ritual objects, and monuments, described as they are in this volume, provide valuable aids to a full appreciation of the Bible. In addition, they offer a fascinating reconstruction of the life and culture of Biblical times —knowledge previously accessible to specialists, but now given comprehensive treatment for the general reader. Page by page, the Biblical world unfolds, faithfully recreated in a way that would have been impossible for artists and writers in earlier centuries. Photographs, drawings, and maps—some especially prepared, and others collected from libraries and museums—accompany the reader’s journey through the dramatic and awe-inspiring events of two and three thousand years ago. Our Living Bible will be welcome in every home where the Bible is read. It is an incomparable gift book for anyone, at any season, and an ideal addition to the church or home library. Non-theological in its approach, it is an enlightening “living commentary” that will be read and re-read for many years to come by those who know and love the Bible. |
