 A richness that commentaries often don’t supply  

“What a ‘fire hydrant’ flow of pertinent, revealing detail for interpreting 2 Samuel! This extravaganza adds repeated perspective and understanding—whether appreciating the sort of turf Abner & Co. would face traveling back to Mahanaim in ch. 2, or getting the ‘skinny’ on David’s conquest of Jerusalem in ch. 5, or simply visualizing the hiding places David may have used in ch. 17; at every turn one gains fresh appreciation and new insights into the text of 2 Samuel in this marvelous geographical-archaeological-cultural starter kit. There is a richness in the Photo Companion that commentaries often don’t or can’t supply.”

Dale Ralph Davis, Former pastor of Woodland Presbyterian Church in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and professor of Old Testament at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, and author of 2 Samuel: Out of Every Adversity

 I highly recommend this! 

“The old saying, ‘a picture is worth a thousand words,’ is certainly true when studying the historical books of the Old Testament. The Photo Companion to the Bible is a ‘must-have’ research and teaching tool that greatly enhances our understanding of the Scriptures. With this tool, the Bible will ‘come alive’ in the classroom. This PowerPoint-based tool is user-friendly, with photos arranged by chapter and verse for quick reference and annotated by experts in the field of biblical history, geography, and archaeology. The wide assortment of photos includes high quality pictures of biblical sites, many of which are labeled to help with orientation, as well as pictures of artifacts and ancient Near Eastern artwork illustrating biblical culture and history. I highly recommend this fantastic tool!”
