“We are helped in understanding the Scriptures when we immerse ourselves in the culture and the world in which the Bible was written. These photos transport us back in time, and they help us see a dimension of the culture and the world of the Bible that we would not see otherwise. An invaluable resource.”

—Thomas R. Schreiner, James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; author of Galatians in the ZECNT series

 

“These photos help us see and experience what it was like for the original audience to read Paul’s writings. Our tendency is to read our own culture and experience into the text. The Photo Companion to the Bible helps us avoid such errors and keeps us grounded. I plan to use this resource when I teach the book of Ephesians.”

—Benjamin L. Merkle, Professor of New Testament and Greek, Dr. M. O. Owens Chair of New Testament Studies, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary; author of Ephesians in the EGGNT series

 

“The hundreds of photos, along with clear and descriptive captions, enable one to visually engage the world of Paul and the Philippians in fresh and dynamic ways. Whether you are a pastor, a teacher, a missionary, a small group leader, or simply a student of the Bible, the Photo Companion to Philippians will deepen your understanding of the biblical text and enable you to invite others into that experience.”

—Matthew S. Harmon, Professor of New Testament Studies, Grace College and Theological Seminary; author of Philippians: A Mentor Commentary

 

“This new collection of images illustrating 1 and 2 Thessalonians is extraordinary! It illuminates not only the archeological setting of Thessalonica and the letters Paul sent to the congregation there, but also the many aspects of everyday life that those letters touch on, including death, sex, money, and work. This wide-ranging and visually powerful collection is an outstanding resource for anyone teaching or researching the Thessalonian letters.”

—Michael Holmes, Professor of Biblical Studies and Early Christianity Emeritus, Bethel University; author of 1 & 2 Thessalonians in the NIVAC series

 

“In a visual culture, seeing the truths of Scripture adds a new dimension to understanding the words of God. This is especially true of theological teachings, which the Photo Companion to 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus uniquely and wonderfully does. I wish I had this resource when I was teaching and especially preaching through the Pastorals.”

—Bill Mounce, President of BiblicalTraining.org; author of Pastoral Epistles in the Word Biblical Commentary
