Our Living Bible

by Michael Avi-Yonah, Emil G. Kraeling, William Foxwell Albright (Foreword)

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 Books of Books in the light of these ancient treasures unearthed in modern 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.

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.
