Good read for the Bible curious.

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2011

A good book. This book is written to be a somewhat more pedestrian read, which is appreciated when diving into something as foreign to the average modern as the Old Testament is. This book has relevant pictures, and reads suprisingly quickly considering it is perhaps best described as an "academic" book. All in all, a highly recommended read for the new OT/Bible student.
