Reviews

[Pastoralmusings]

This is not truly a review, but a quick description of this series.
An old, out of print series. Ten volumes covering the Old and New Testaments.
The books give background, geographical, historical, sociological, and theological information about the Bible.
If one can get a set of these, it would be worth paying a premium to get them.
