The Bible Comes Alive
Dr. Clifford Wilson
The
science of archaeology is causing a revolution in scientific circles where it was once
vogue to ridicule the Bible. This excellent series of books by Dr. Clifford Wilson, an
eminent Biblical archaeologist, contains his notes and photographs of all the
archaeological finds that bring the Bible into three-dimensional life, adding flesh and
full living color to the Word of God. In Volume One,
Creation to Abraham, Dr. Wilson presents the archeaological and historical evidence
supporting the authenticity of the book of Genesis and brings to life the age of the
patriarchs. In Volume Two,
Moses to David, Dr. Wilson presents the archeaological finds that bring to life the
period of Egyptian exile in Israel’s national history, the Egyptians, the Canaanites,
Jericho, and the settling of Israel, through the reign of David, her greatest king. In Volume Three,
Solomon in All his Glory, Dr. Wilson brings forth the evidence of the golden age of
Israel, its influence over the nations, and introduces us to the societies and histories
of Assyria and Babylon, while illuminating the Biblical record. More volumes are
forthcoming in this series of amazing Bible references.
Cultural Atlas for Young People: the Bible
John Rogerson
A wonderful resource, especially for
children, but everyone in the family will benefit. Beginning with a timeline from 7000
B.C. through 100 A.D. that chronicles the events in Israel and Judah with the history of
neighboring civilizations, this beautiful Facts on File book first details the history of
Bible lands, then their geography. It is lavishly illustrated with National
Geographic-quality photographs, archaeological finds, and helpful illustrations (for
example, of a Canaanite charioteer next to the walls of Jericho at the time of
Joshua’s conquest) that give insight into the stories of the Bible, and help children
visualize the Egyptian, Canaanite, Phoenecian, Philistinian, Assyrian, Babylonian,
Persian, Grecian, and Roman civilizations of Biblical times. The history of Israel between
the Testaments fills in the gaps from Ezra and Nehemiah’s return to Israel and the
birth of Jesus. The full-page maps are easy to read and clearly labeled. This book
provides a valuable overview and many helps to teaching and learning.

Illustrated Dictionary of Bible Life & Times
Reader’s Digest Association
This is the
book for all those times our children ask the questions, “What’s an ephod?
What’s myrrh and frankencense? Why would they give Jesus gall to drink?
What’s a phylactery?” During Bible reading time, they zero in on everything that
is foreign to their daily existence with unerring accuracy, and this comprehensive and
nicely illustrated dictionary (more like an encyclopedia than a dictionary) is just the
ticket to help answer their questions. It is so well done and interesting that my children
have read through portions from time to time just for fun.
Great People of the Bible & How They Lived
Reader’s Digest Association
Linking the text of the Biblical stories with the most
recent archaeological discoveries, this volume attempts to bring to life the daily life
and times of the patriarchs, Moses, Pharaoh, the kings and prophets, Jesus, and other
people of the Bible, as well as the civilizations of the Hittites, the Assyrians, the
Persians, and others. Abounding with details of everyday life and accurate architectural
renderings of the temples, cities, palaces, fortresses, and shrines described in the
Bible, as well as maps and photos of archaeological finds and places, it makes a great
addition to any family’s Bible reference library.

people of the bible” and an author search using “reader’s digest.”
How the Bible Came to Us
Meryl Doney
This wonderful children’s book
is packed with information that will fascinate teens and adults, too. Beginning with an
overview of what the Bible is (“Look, I’ve just borrowed this book.”
“That’s not a book, its a whole library!”), including a nice explanation of
how it can be the Word of God while still written by men, it touches on the history of
writing, the development of books from clay tablets to our modern forms, how the Bible was
copied and the message preserved over the centuries, how it was canonized, why and how the
Bible has been translated, the story of the English Bible, and even how Wycliffe Bible
translators go about developing a written language for peoples without one, putting the
Bible into their language, and teaching them to read. Excellent!
The Bible Through the Ages
Reader’s Digest Association
I could not agree more with this reviewer’s
enthusiastic comments: “I have not encountered a more thorough, thoroughly enjoyable,
straightforwardly written, ABSORBING journey through the history of the Bible. The text is
peppered with fascinating sidebars about the arts and crafts of ancient and medieval times
and nearly every page delights the eye with fabulous full-color illustrations. I cannot
recommend the book highly enough; I will treasure it for many years.” The book for
teens and adults that want to delve into the history of the greatest book ever written,
touching on the people of the Bible, the Hebrews, and the Hebrew Bible; the making of the
Christian Scriptures; its painstaking preservation during the Middle Ages; the impact of
the Renaissance and Reformation on the Bible; and the story of the Bible spreading to the
far corners of the earth in our day.

Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible
James Strong
The standard
for concordances, cataloguing every word in the King James Bible. Strong is just as famous
for his dictionary of every Hebrew, Chaldee and Greek word appearing in the Bible as he is
for his concordance. This edition includes his concordance and Greek and Hebrew
dictionaries, complete and unabridged, and features an easy-to-read typeface and a slimmer
size that is easier to carry to Bible study classes and is more convenient to use at
one’s own desk.
Pharaohs & Kings: A Biblical Quest
David Rohl
By archaeologist David Rohl, who has “proposed a new chronology for ancient Egypt
which gave the world a completely fresh understanding of biblical history. His fascinating
journey back through time provided the first archaeological confirmation for many of the
great events and personalities in the Old Testament.” I couldn’t put it down
until I’d finished it. Read the book the British Museum banned and decide for
yourself.
