Full Description
The Idea:
to retell the ancient, hallowed story of the Bible as if it were
happening today - or, differently expressed, as if the ancients had
been in possession of all the facilities and know-how connected with
the production of a modern newspaper!
The Result: a serious, authentic and well-founded
portrayal of the people and events of the Biblical era, giving the
reader dimensions of depth that no history textbook, with its
necessarily compartmentalized, chapter-by-chapter approach, can
provide: depth in geographical extension and depth in aspects of
living. The perusal of any one issue in Chronicles will give the reader
both an overall view of simultaneous happenings in the Holy Land and in
other countries, and a fresh insight into the political, economic and
social problems, as well as the everyday life, of our ancestors.
Prepared by a staff of established scholars and experienced
researchers, experts in history, archaelogy and the social sciences,
writers and journalists, Chronicles faithfully follows the biblical account.
By lending new life, new color and new dimension to the men and
women who populate the Books of the Bible, the editors of this unique,
publishing venture have contributed immeasurably to the public's
understanding, appreciation and love of the Bible, throughout the
world.
Contains all three volumes, covering the biblical and post-biblical eras, and up to the modern era.
