Here, in one impressively illustrated volume, leading scholars offer compelling glimpses into the biblical world. Using new approaches, contemporary scholars have constructed a fresh synthesis of this material with the biblical traditions. This volume incorporates the best of this scholarship, and in chronologically ordered chapters presents a readable and integrated study of the history, art, architecture, languages, literatures, and religion of biblical Israel and early Judaism and Christianity in their larger cultural contexts. Readers will find that 200 photographs, line drawings, and maps as well as an insert containing 25 color images vividly illustrate the history discussed.
