An Introduction

Illustrated Bible Survey

(Sidenote: I'm sliiiightly annoyed because all these textbooks from my Bible class ruined the aesthetic of the books I read this year. *glares* AHEM. Moving on. :P)

This was an excellently written book and a superb reference for information about the author, background, themes, etc. of all the books of the Bible. It also includes maps, photos, and illustrations which are very helpful. 

Honestly, it's just another matter of personal preference. I found this very dry and tedious, especially when I had to read OVER 5 CHAPTERS at a time. Oh, goodness. It was a really long book and something I would treat more as a reference than a read-every-chapter kind of book.

There were definitely some interesting things, and I appreciated the knowledge and insight it provided. (I even learned things - IMAGINE THAT. xD) But as a whole, it's not something I would probably sit down and read for pleasure.

3 stars

(P.S. I'M DONE WITH THIS CLASS YAY. I'm so happy because this also means all my textbooks got me ahead in my reading challenge. #winning)
