What's What in the Bible
What's What in the Bible

Understanding daily life in biblical times.

If you’ve ever been curious about the everyday customs, challenges, and beliefs that are depicted in the Bible, "What's What in the Bible" is akin to a time machine. It's a fantastic resource for young readers, or even those new to biblical stories, seeking to paint a clearer picture of ancient times. The way Derek Williams breaks down complex themes into bite-sized, illustrated sections makes the historical context not just comprehensible but also engaging. It offers a multi-dimensional look into the past that could make your next read-through of the Bible much more vivid.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
