The Bible in World History: Putting Scripture Into A Global Context (Illustrated Bible Handbook Series)

Blurb

What was happening outside Bible lands during the time of the patriarchs, Jewish kingdoms, the prophets, Jesus ministry, and the early church? Find out with The Bible in World History. This brand-new, fully illustrated reference breaks biblical and early church history into eight major time periods from Creation to the Tower of Babel through Anno Domini, the years from Jesus birth to about AD 330 and shows what was happening in other parts of the world during those times. With references to Chinese, Indian, African, and Mayan cultures, among others, The Bible in World History helps average readers not scholars to see how history and scripture intersect.
