The Illustrated Family Bible is based on the New International Version and tells in text and pictures the major stories from the creation account in Genesis to Revelation. Great care seems to have been taken to make the illustrations accurate. The artwork and photographs bring the main characters and events to life. Background information sets the stories in context.
Maps locate important places.
Each story is told briefly and is accompanied by explanatory notes. I have over 300 books on the Bible, many that are scholarly and beyond my comprehension but from which I continue to glean small nuggets of understanding. Over time you forget much, and this book provides a quick refresher. It is based on sound scholarship but arranged for the general reader. Although ideal for the young student, it is not a child's book.
