Really brings the words of the prophet Obadiah to life
“The ancient prophets spoke God’s Word to real flesh-and-blood people who lived at certain times and places in past history. This new Photo Companion to the Bible volume is a great visual resource that gives photos of high quality and really brings the words of the prophet Obadiah to life. I highly recommend this excellent resource.”

A remarkably rich set of images
“The Photo Companion to the Bible: Obadiah is a remarkably rich set of images. The well-resourced slides are linked to successive verses, and the whole becomes a framework within which to introduce archaeological artifacts, inscriptions, aerial views, landscapes, maps, and models that illuminate the message. The enterprise creatively demonstrates that both enduring landscapes and human proclivities have not changed over millennia. Regarding the latter, even though the artifacts and inscriptions come from wide-ranging chronological and geopolitical contexts well beyond Obadiah’s Edom, they depict the ongoing presence of pride, fear, greed, and betrayal portrayed in the text.”
—Elaine Phillips, Chief Academic Officer, Jerusalem University College; author of Obadiah, Jonah & Micah in the Apollos Old Testament Commentary
