Highlights of the bible but leaves one longing for more.

75 of the most famous Old Testament stories. Some with great illustrations, others...not so exciting. I'm not a religious person and do not know much about the bible, I found this book is a great starter for the older learner interested in reading the 'classics' of the bible. The stories have been adapted to our modern 'tongue' allowing smooth reading. An additional benefit of this version is the illustrations give an interesting (the artist's) perspective on the various themes. The print is easy to read and the paper quality is excellent. Still, with a text of this sort, I would have expected more. Their is only the briefest of commentary by the author. I find commentary the most interesting aspect of the bible as each story has layers of meaning and multiple interpretations. Additionally I would have enjoyed more about the work of art being displayed, historical context, bio of the artist, etc; some tangible information to bring further meaning to the subject matter art and artist. In short, for those with an eye for art, it's a great for read of the classics of the bible.
A picture is worth a thousand words.

The thing that I liked most about this book is that the artwork was exceptional. The stories have been told again and again, but the visual images bring the stories to life. The geneology chart in the front is a nice touch for anyone interested in passing the book down as an heirloom. Overall, it is a priceless purchase for any Jewish family.
