Testament: The Bible and History

Testament describes the making of the Bible, the creation of both the Old and the New Testaments and charts the book's survival through the long centuries of its life. John Romer uses his considerable experience of the worlds of art history and archaeology to advantage as he unravels the story of the making and the use and misuse of the world's most beautiful and influential book. With a sure touch he sets the historical scene and brings to vivid life the Bible's creators.
