Description
Subtitled, a “Curious Kid's Guide to the Bible's Most Ancient Stories," this pictorial compendium explains what life was like during the time the Bible was written. Not a Bible story book. Instead, you'll learn cultural details about how people lived, dressed, and ate; what they believed; how cultures in such places as Canaan and Babylon lived, and more. With the stylized drawings and informative, yet manageable amount of text, this book guides you to discover what the world Jesus lived in was like. Uses BCE/CE and avoids most of the deeper theological issues or Biblical doctrines. 64 pgs, hc.
Publisher's Description of World of the Old Testament
The stories of the Old Testament present modern readers with a world completely foreign from our own. Curious kids riveted by these stories are likely to come away with questions. Who were the people who lived in the time and place in which these stories were set? How did they work? What did they eat? What were their families and tribes like? How did they fight? What did they believe about God, kings, enemies, and the world around them? And above all, what does any of it have to do with how we read and understand the books that make up the first half of the Bible? The World of the Old Testament: A Curious Kid's Guide to the Bible's Most Ancient Stories answers these questions and more, with charts, graphs, maps, and other infographics that will keep kids' attention for hours, and send them back to the Bible with surprising new insights and understanding.
