The Bible's Most Fascinating People: Stories from the Old and New Testaments

By R.P. Nettelhorst

Book Overview

This book tells the stories of 100 of the most important and interesting personalities that appear within the Bible's pages. The short and easy to digest articles are designed to appeal equally to those who know little about the Bible and to those who have a deep familiarity with it. Encompassing characters from both the Old and New Testaments, the stories are set within a framework of family relationships that run throughout the Bible. Family trees illustrate the relationships between the people in the various stories, providing you with a clear sense of the underlying historical and cultural matrix out of which the Bible grew. Through riveting stories, you'll get to know the Bible's most intriguing personalities--with all of their human frailties. Reacers cam view each character through the prism of beautiful fine art images. This book makes a magnificent accompaniment to Bible reading, and a wonderful addition to any church or Sunday school library.

Mr

Great stories and very well written. Masterfully illustrated with some of the most gorgeous artwork around. Highly recommend if you enjoy stories of the Biblical figures.

Phenominal!

Honestly... This book is amazing. I love the information and the artwork is beautiful. This piece, on my coffee table, is a topic of conversation and learning. At night, coffee in hand, I sit and learn. BTW, the family trees alone, found within the book, make the purchase price a bargain! This book is concise, easy-to-understand, unlike other readers digest books of the Bible that I have purchased in the past. I just "get-it" if you know what I mean.
