Illustrated Family Bible

This illustrated Bible interprets the text of all the most important stories in the Old and New Testaments, making it an essential Bible reader for the whole family. The DK Illustrated Family Bible uses original texts selected from the New International Version, a Bible that is faithful to the original and written in accessible language. Key words, phrases, and concepts are fully explained in the illustrated side panels, and the relevant chapter and verse numbers are clearly marked. Background information, accompanied by color photographs, sets the stories in context, while maps locate important places.
In this book, distinguished scholar Dr. Claude-Bernard Costecalde guides the reader toward a clearer understanding of the Bible with the help of a team of religious teachers and advisers from different denominations.
