The Bible is full of mysteries that have gripped millions of people over thousands of years. Here, the most intriguing mysteries and unanswered questions like, "Where is the garden of Eden? What ever happened to Sodom and Gomorrah? Where is the Ark of the Covenant today?" are brought to life for today's reader through colour illustrations and photos, as well as commentary by renowned biblical scholars. From the miracles of Jesus to spiritual powers to cosmic marvels of the ancient world, the Bible's mysteries are explored here. The chapters include: The Story of Creation; Jesus: A Life Shrouded in Mystery; Angels and Demons; The Da Vinci Anti-Code; and others. Thanks to the collaboration of the American Bible Society, one of the world's foremost providers of Scripture and Scripture resources, there are Bible passages and accompanying commentary, helping to make sense of these mysteries and their meaning for modem day life. American Bible Society is a 190 year old organization whose mission is to make the Bible available to every person in a language and format each can understand and afford, so all people may experience its life-changing message.

This review is from: Inside the Mysteries of the Bible : New Perspectives on Ancient Truths (American Bible Society) (Paperback)

I have used this as a study for both those who are just getting into the Bible and those who are more familiar with the Bible. There is some excellent trivia and the graphics and photos make this a worthwhile study. I like how they used modern day research to support the facts that are in the Bible.

It is written in such a way that it allows further depth for those who wish to do so. In my advanced Bible study group we take three hours on each Bible story. Whereas, with my confirmation class it provides enough information to tell the story, give the backgrounds, and then shows how modern day experiences supports the stories. Some of the stories are just plain mysteries. All of the stories require faith and all these stories help build the faith.
