This book traces the history of early Judaism, Christianity & Islam against the rich geographical canvas of the Ancient Near East. Written from a strictly non-denominational perspective, the book draws from the latest insights in archeology, paleo-anthropology, forensic science & biblical literature to narrate the fascinating story of how three great cultures originated from the same cradle in the Fertile Crescent. Throughout this narrative, Atlas places its storyline in the context of other major developments in Mesopotamia, Greece, Egypt, Persia, Rome, Byzantium & Arabia. Illustrated with detailed maps & beautiful photographs, the book also features numerous sidebars describing everyday life in each biblical period. These sidebars focus on trade, farming, flora & fauna, dress, food, marriage customs, childbirth & burial practice, as well as literature, the arts & architecture. Beginning with the origins of Abraham's family in the cradle of human civilization, the city of Ur in Sumeria., The Biblical World tracks the evolution of Judaism from Abraham through Jacob & Moses to the founding of the Unified Kingdom of Israel. The book then describes the emergence of Christianity in the context of Greco-Roman civilization, charts its development throughout the Byzantine empire, & identifies the unique circumstances which prepared for the rise of Islam. Dr. Isbouts supports his vibrant narrative with"es from a range of sources from Antiquity as well as an amazing array of archeological material, including hieroglyphic & cuneiform texts, monuments & artifacts
- from Mesopotamia to Egypt, from Byzantium to early Arabian art. The result is an objective & painstakingly researched history that, time & again, finds the corroboration of its main argument in archeological evidence, much of which has been uncovered & deciphered only in the last few decades.
