Abstract:
A comprehensive, easy-to-use, and beautifully illustrated guide to more than 500 Biblical characters. What made Abraham, a peaceful man, become a warrior? Who were the women in King David's life? When was the last king of Judah led off into captivity? Was Mary Magdalene a sinner or a woman possessed? The pages of the Bible are filled with stories of fascinating men and women: saints and sinners, the faithful and the foolish, lovers and liars, giants and generals, priests and prophets, the brave and the cowardly, heathens and healers, the pious and the pitiful. All in all, Who's Who in the Bible is an invaluable companion to your family Bible as well as an outstanding reference book. You will turn to its attractive, fact-checked pages again and again for essential background information and spiritual enrichment.-- Amazon
