Biblical stories depicted through international stamps.

This book would be a good read for stamp collectors and history buffs who are interested in exploring the intersections of religion, culture, and art. The unique feature of this book lies in its beautifully illustrated collection of stamps from around the world, which not only depict biblical events but also showcase the diversity of global stamp art. The author's extensive knowledge and expertise in the subject make this book a comprehensive and captivating journey through the stories recorded in the Bible, as depicted on stamps from different nations and continents. It is a visual and educational feast that will leave readers with a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of faith, history, and philately.

Description

Every stamp tells a story. Biblical events have frequently been commemorated on the stamps of nations. This beautifully illustrated book brings together a story that begins with the creation of the world, to the rise of Israel as a nation, the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, the origin of the church and its spread to many lands. The stamps, collected over a period of thirty years, originate not only from the West but also the Middle East, Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, Asia and the Pacific islands. Their sheer beauty will be much appreciated by discerning readers.
