This illustrated Bible interprets the original texts of all the most important stories of the Old and New Testaments for the whole family. The Bible texts, taken from the widely recognized New International Version, are linked by short narrative passages and storytelling artworks bring the people and places to life. Important words, phrases and concepts fundamental to the understanding of each story are highlighted and explained in illustrated side panels, where colour maps, artworks and photographs of places and artefacts set the stories in their historical and geographical context.
