The Guide to the Bible. The Old Testament

Asimov's book is a true guide to the ancient biblical world, which is about three thousand years old, discussing the customs of ancient tribes, tracing the genealogies of kings and pharaohs. You will encounter Babylon and Assyria, Egypt, Israel and Judea during the times of the prophets, the empire of David and Solomon in strict chronological order. The author mainly addresses historical geography and ethnography but does not neglect biblical plots, ideas, images, and episodes that have so organically woven themselves into the existence of both the individual and all of humanity.
