People of the Bible: A St. Joseph Bible Resource (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781937913779)

An invaluable resource for schools and Bible study

Who is the oldest person in the Bible? How was Jesus related to King David? What does the name Salome mean? Who replaced Judas as an Apostle?

All these questions - and many more - are answered in this fascinating book, which gives summary portraits of more than 230 of the best-known figures in the Bible.

Illustrated in color throughout, each entry has Scripture references. Fully indexed, this book is an invaluable and handy reference.

One of six titles in the St. Joseph Bible Resources series, People of the Bible by Robert Backhouse offers, in a concise and accessible format, succinct summaries of the lives of over 200 personages from the Old and New Testaments, providing the following:

• 13 sections that present the people in the order in which they appear in the Bible, thereby showing how God worked through ordinary individuals through the centuries
• the meaning of each person's name, some of which are more significant than others
• information on less familiar biblical figures
• Scripture references that point to some of the most important appearances of each person in the Bible

This booklet is an invaluable resource for use in schools, in Bible study groups, or by the individual inquirer.
