The Holman Illustrated Bible Commentary is a colorful and concise commentary covering the entire Bible. The editors know that some of what we read in the Bible is self-explanatory, but other passages are difficult and require help, much like when the apostle Philip assisted Ethiopian eunuch in Acts. So to bring clarity to all Bible passages, 45 top Bible scholars contributed to this 1,410-page commentary.
The authors of this work used the study notes of the HCSB Study Bible as a base. Because a study Bible has limited space, some passages received limited attention. The Holman Illustrated Bible Commentary gives additional commentary to fill in these gaps, making a more complete commentary.
In addition, over 300 maps, photos, charts, illustrations, and reconstructions illustrate the Bible commentary throughout. Fascinating artifacts and archaeological evidence is placed alongside the appropriate commentary text. You will discover that many Bible stories are illustrated by contemporary artists, as well as the great master painters like Leonardo Da Vinci and Rembrandt. All of this adds a refreshing visual experience to studies of God's Word.
