Although I got this book several years ago, the lock-up because of the COVID 19 virus finally gave me the uninterrupted time to read it. It is sad that it took a virus to get me to read it but I am very happy I finally did. I don't have the ability to fully describe this work. It is simply outstanding. It's hard to read because it is such a large book with very heavy, glossy paper. The pictures of the artwork alone are magnificent. In addition, the narrative is marvelous.

Casting the tumultuous history of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam against the rich canvas of the Near East, The Biblical World reveals how three great religions emerged from the same cradle. Author Jean-Pierre Isbouts employs a non-denominational perspective and a wide range of sources--from ancient hieroglyphic texts to the latest scientific finding--to place Bible stories in the framework of history. Chronologically arranged chapters detail battles, conquests, tribal migrations, natural calamities, and more, supporting the stories with intriguing archaeological evidence. The story traces the evolution of Judaism from Abraham to the Unified Kingdom of Israel, chronicles the emergence of Christianity in the context of Greco-Roman civilization, and identifies the unique circumstances that prepared for the rise of Islam. The multi-dimensional approach weighs similarities and differences among the three faiths and follows developments in nearby lands. The Biblical World offers a carefully researched, balanced view of history and religious tradition. --From publisher's description. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
