Title: Pictures good, theology bad
Review: The Good things about this book are the maps, timelines, and in some cases, the introductions. Each page is about half scripture and half commentary(except in the psalms and proverbs, where there is less commentary). This book not a very good place to study the Old Testament, being simplistic in it's interpretations and sometimes downright false. It says things like "Reuben slept with his father's wife" and "Tamar was a shady character" which thousands of years of Jewish wisdom say are not true. If you want to study the Old Testament, check out "Bible for the Clueless but Curious", or some other source. The notes in the New Testament are helpful when describing historical habits, but is not convincing in truth. All in all, reading this bible(NT+comm.) has convinced me that I could never be a Christian, which I doubt was the authors' intent.
