The Bible and its Monetary Weights and Measurments The Set (Volumes 1 & 2) [Paperback]

Ernest F. Schlegel (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: 1995

Written over a three year period, this book covers biblical measurements and monetary systems referred to in both the Old and New Testaments. It does this in painstaking detail, discussing in great depth such subjects as varied as the construction of Noah's ark to the reconstruction of Solomon's temple. Measurements are converted from the Hebrew to the modern Metric system. Likewise, monetary systems were converted to the present day monetary system with a base line using the gold and silver values of 1995. Also included are explanations of how these measurements were actually used in making these items. Last but not least, the author has an exposition of each book of the Bible so that young and old can understand the Bible more clearly. This is, in its quiet and patient way, a milestone book and a valuable reference for any theological library.
