A Couple of Great New Resources for One Year Bible Readers
January 14th, 2008Recently my reading of Scripture has been greatly enriched by two award-winning new reference works.
One is the Archaeological Study Bible. This is filled with enlightening articles and beautiful color pictures of biblical sights and artifacts. It is fantastic in helping the serious student of Scripture understand the historical background of the text.
The other is The IVP Atlas of Bible History. Again, the photos are color and the articles are first-rate scholarship that is easy to understand. It works chronologically, meaning that the articles, maps, and pictures follow the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Another wonderful resource for helping us understand the historical background of the text.
Both these new resources are attracting rave reviews, and for good reason.
