Homes and Families: Growing Up in Bible Times (Bible World)

Part of a ten-volume encyclopedia, this reference series is designed to introduce young people to the world of the Bible—the people, the history, the beliefs, the backgrounds—and explains why the Bible continues to inspire people today. This eighth book in the series recreates the daily life of young and old, rich and poor—their times of work, of play, and of celebration. It also provides essential background information on the Bible itself, the lands where Bible history took place, daily life, and religious beliefs.
