Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary
(Set of Four Books)
Each book of the Old Testament is introduced with a brief essay. A verse-by-verse commentary follows, with illustrations and/or pictures on nearly every page. Drawing upon linguistic analysis, archaeological evidence, history, other ancient Near Eastern literatures and the like, the commentary provides the historical and cultural background against which the text can be read and understood. Like The Zondervan Encyclopedia of the Bible, the commentary set strives to be both accessible and scholarly. The Commentary strives to include varying viewpoints, but is honest in stating that the conclusions it presents are rooted in historic Christianity.

Jerusalem An Archaeological Biography
Shanks, president of the Biblical Archaeology Sociey and editor of Understanding the Dead Sea Scrolls (Random, 1993), has produced a sumptuous commemorative volume to mark the "3,000th anniversary of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel." He lavishly uses well-chosen, high-quality color photos, drawings, and plans. Two pages of simplified time lines put the major events of the book in clear chronological perspective. The 14 chapters range from "Jerusalem before the Israelites" and "How David Conquered Jerusalem" to "Herodian Jerusalem" and "Modern and Crusader Jerusalem." Shanks writes in an informal style and keeps the archaeology relatively simple. Although he incorporates the latest research, he does not introduce anything new. His work is an informative coffee-table book for the educated public; students in the field will find it an interesting, albeit expensive, picture book and summary of the highlights of Jerusalem's archaeology.
