Who's Who in the Old Testament

Who's Who in the Old Testament brings vividly to life the thousands of characters in the Old Testament, and provides: * nearly 3000 extensive entries covering every character * detailed biographical information on each character, including exactly where to find them in the Bible * the complete historical, geographical and archaeological context of each entry * comprehensive chronology of the times * a section on the Apocrypha - the collection of works that bridges the gap between the Old and New Testaments.

Joan Comay is the author of Ben-Gurion and the Birth of Israel and Who's Who in Jewish History (also published by Routledge).
