A treasure trove of first-rate images
“In recent years I have moved toward a more ‘image-based’ orientation in my classroom presentations. The constant need, of course, is to find both stimulating and historically accurate images that match the teaching content. The Hebrews volume of the Photo Companion to the Bible serves as a treasure trove of first-rate images that immediately take lectures and Bible study sessions to the next level.”
—George H. Guthrie, Professor of New Testament, Regent College; author of Hebrews in the NIVAC series
Brings new depth of understanding to Hebrews
“Many people focus on the rich theology of Hebrews (rightly so!) without realizing the powerful imagery running through the epistle. This extensive collection of photos brings new depth of understanding to Hebrews by illustrating many of the numerous citations of or allusions to the OT. The collection offers numerous photos that bring the epistle’s context of the Roman Empire alive. Excellent quality photos of ancient coins, inscriptions, early manuscripts, statues, and examples of Roman iconography (and other ancient cultures), all contribute to the depth of this collection. This collection will be appreciated by professors, students, Bible study leaders, and anyone interested in exploring Hebrews more deeply.
—Dana M. Harris, Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School; author of Hebrews in the Exegetical Guide to the Greek New Testament
