Archaeological Study Bible

The Archaeological Study Bible published by Zondervan is a very interesting and useful reference tool for the presentation of the past and its relevance to the Christian today. In fact, it is described as "An Illustrated Walk through Biblical History and Culture."

I bought this Study Bible because I had never heard of anything like it and it seemed it would be a great resource for helping me understand the many different places mentioned in the Bible. I was also hoping to see many great pictures of the relics of the past related to Christianity. I was thinking "this will be like buying a small museum in the form of a book.
