Mysteries of the Bible The Enduring Questions of the Scriptures

Moses' parting of the Red Sea, Daniel in the lions' den, the collapse of Jericho's walls at a trumpet's blast, the miraculous breath of Elisha that woke a child from the slumber of the grave -- these and other legendary mysteries recorded in the Bible suggest a marvelous power that quickens the heart and touches the soul. With 143 short, self-contained, easy-to-read, informal articles organized into six sections and written by distinguished theologians, historians, and archaeologists the reader come closer to understanding the truths conveyed by the Bible's psalms, gospels, proverbs, and prophecies. Beautifully illustrated with ancient and classical art, and contemporary photographs, the articles are supplemented by time lines, maps, genealogies tracing the Tribes of Israel and the House of David, and a key to Gospel accounts of the life of Jesus. "Mysteries Of The Bible" is both a helpful and fascinating reference source and a compelling introduction to the wonders of the Bible.
