How do you best learn?
- reading printed words on paper/screen
- viewing charts, maps, photos, etc.
- listening to spoken words
- combination of the above
The 5-Minute Visual Guide to the Bible by Michael Wittmer is a great resource for people (like me) whose study is enhanced by viewing images along with reading words. The full-color guide is brimming with time lines, photos, paintings, and maps to supplement Biblical study, and the detailed index makes it easy to find the images on any topic.
I knew I'd appreciate this resource when I read these words in the intro regarding the inclusion of classical paintings: âOf course, nobody knows exactly how Bible characters looked, but they most certainly had darker skin, eyes, and hair than many European artist portrayed them with. Please enjoy such illustrations while recognizing the historical limitations.â
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.
