Review: Este libro es genial para los que nos encanta la Biblia y el arte. Vi algunas de estas Biblias en el museo de la Biblia y me encanto la historia medieval de la misma, este libro es más detallado.

Title: Great artwork and a must in anyone's library.
Review: I saw this book at Michael's and immediately wanted to buy it but looked at the price on Amazon and the decision was quick.Great buy and wonderful to read.I particularly liked the artwork as it is rare to find a fun version describing the history and people related to the Bible, which can particularly attract children and adults alike.It is not the Bible or even close to it. It is just another take on the history, the people who contributed to the preservation of texts and arts related to the actual Bible.I would highly recommend everyone to keep this book in their library for the artwork it contains alone. Too much of a fun spectacle for the eyes. The text is also well written and has some new and interesting facts around the history of the Bible itself.Best.
