29.99 €
The Bible is the sacred book of Christianity, the most widely read and closely studied in the world. Its texts cover the history of the relationship between man and God from the creation of the world to the first century AD—the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The biblical narrative is replete with characters—Old Testament patriarchs and kings, judges and prophets, high priests and leaders, magicians and soothsayers, New Testament apostles and evangelists, tax collectors and Pharisees, as well as their mothers and wives, sisters and daughters. Among the Bible's heroes were the righteous and the sinners, martyrs and villains, incorporeal Heavenly Powers, and even angels and demons incarnate. This publication will help you understand who's who in the books of Holy Scripture, the Old and New Testaments, and answer some of the most pressing questions related to key images and events in biblical history, Christian traditions and holidays, symbols, and relics. This accessible presentation of the most important episodes of sacred history, accompanied by examples and quotations from Holy Scripture, brief yet comprehensive commentary and explanations, interesting facts and observations, and, most importantly, a wealth of captivating and dynamic illustrations, will make readers' introduction to the characters of the Bible—the sacred Book of Books—simple and understandable.
