    This beautifully illustrated volume walks readers through every chapter of the Bible, while also explaining such things as how we got the Bible, how it was preserved over the years, how the Bible fits in with historical sources and archeological finds, and similar information.

    "This book has won a firm fan. Ideal for teachers as well as students . . . In an increasingly multicultural world, this is an essential read for anyone wanting to know about religion. Loads of pictures and photos make this easily the best book of its kind."  —Jon Hancock, children's book buyer for Borders UK
