Description

Many today find the Old Testament a closed book.  The cultural issues seem insurmountable and we are easily baffled by that which seems obscure.  Furthermore, without knowledge of the ancient context we can easily impose our own culture on the text, potentially distorting it.  Combining informatiave entries and full-color photos and graphics, the Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary brings readers back to the ancient world in a way unlike other commentaries.  Its unique visual approach -- backed by the very best scholarship -- will help readers connect with the historical and cultural contexts of the Old Testament. 

 

Features include  --  Numerous photographs, drawings, maps, diagrams and charts provide a visual feast that breathes fresh life into the text  --  Passage-by-passage commentary presenting archaeological findings, historical explanations, geographic insights, notes on manners and customs, and more  --   Analysis into the literature of the ancient Near East that will open your eyes to new depths of understanding both familiar and unfamiliar passages.
