The Book of Life Volume 4 Bible Kings Captains
The Book of Life Volume 4 Bible Kings Captains Author:Newton M. Hall et al. The inspired story of the Hebrew kingdom, united, at first, under its great kings, Saul, David, and Solomon, then disrupted adn divided into the rival kingdoms of the North and South, is full of dramatic interest and power. Parallel with their absobing history runs the story of the great nations which were, in material resources, far greater tha... more »n the kingdoms of Palestine, greater in wealth and worldly power, but far less in spiritual understanding and in the contribution which they made to the education of the race. Assyria, Babylonia, Persia rose to power, destroyed the kingdoms of the Hebrews, drove the Hebrew people into captivity, and were themselves destroyed for their sins. The significance of this great civilization has been too much overlooked in the study of the Bible.
A unique and most valuable series of pictures of the personal career of one of the greatest of Assyrian kings, from the original sculptures in the British Museum, is added. They will be especially instuctive and interesting to young people who are studying ancient history in high schools and colleges, to Sunday school teachers, and to all students of the Bible.« less
