Why is the Bible the world's best-selling book? Who wrote it? What was life really like in biblical times?
The fully revised second edition of the Lion Bible Encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, visually rich guide to the people, places, history, culture, and events of the Bible.
Packed with accessible explanations, full-colour illustrations, maps, timelines, charts, diagrams, and more than one hundred new images, it brings the world of Scripture vividly to life.
Explore how the Bible was written and preserved, discover the lands and nations of the ancient world, uncover what everyday life looked like for biblical people, and learn more about the beliefs, customs, and traditions that shaped their lives. A dedicated section on Jesus helps readers understand the central figure of the Christian faith and his place within the wider biblical story.
Whether used for Bible study, homeschooling, school projects, church groups, or personal exploration, this trusted reference work is an invaluable companion for readers of all ages.
A handy Fast Facts section and comprehensive index make key information easy to find and revisit, putting essential facts at your fingertips.
