[Tim · Rating 2 out of 5]

Reasonable one-page summary descriptions of people and places associated with the general events of the Bible.

[Duncan · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was an excellent reflection on the lands of the Scriptures and holy history, and the facts inside (as well as the art) were fascinating. For example: “In 1986, a disagreement over cleaning rights in Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity brought Greek and Armenian clergy to blows.” It was just a little tedious at times. Amen.

Enjoyed this colorful peek into history of bible lands! It is a subject I enjoy and with many archaeological finds to this day it is so overwhelming.
