Coins of the Bible

Great teaching tool to be able to see what coins looked like during ancient times.

The accompanying book was most informative

The text gets a bit technical at times, but is not above the average reader. Graphics and time lines throughout the book connects the historical dots nicely.

Perfect adjunct for time lining Bible history.

Arthur Friedberg starts by giving an overview of the history of the Jews in the form of main events. After this overview he goes over the various coins and the images that they bore and their meanings. The book provides pictures of both sides of each coin and on the cover are two coin replica's (one of them is a widows mite). The book covers the tribute penny and the widow's mite with a good explanation about what these coins were. The coins discussed include the Maccabean peoriod all the way through to the Christian era. The coins of Greece, Persia and Rome are all discussed as well. Friedburg could have given what was inscribed on each coin and not just an explanation of the picture on the front and on the back. This is a good resource and at a very low price here at Amazon. The price on the back of the book is 14.95.

Easy read with good info

Very good read on coins of the biblical era. Includes replica samples of some of the coins. Recommended.

Having seen an earlier edition of this book, I knew it would be good. It was better than expected. Book well packaged with bubble wrap. Good seller.

O produto chegou após 34 dias...A capa frontal e a traseira vieram com algumas imperfeições como se não fosse novo (falha e afundamento).

La entrega muy rápida, antes de la fecha señalada.Me gustó mucho el libro, la información adecuada, y me gustaron mucho las replicas de las monedas.
