Aelfred Rex Bible Story Book

Aelfred Rex Bible Story Book by Banek, Nelda Hoyt. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781941669006.

The Ælfred Rex Bible Story Book is a comprehensive and faithful telling of the narrative of Scripture. It was written for children, but also for their parents and teachers. Careful attention has been given to details and accuracy throughout. In the 312 stories of the book, the flow of Bible history is emphasized, without adding to or omitting stories unduly. The author uses a reverent, straightforward style and vocabulary. Over 270 black and white engravings selected from 19th century folios beautify the text. These illustrations are rich depictions, clearly created by artists who knew the stories themselves. The questions accompanying the stories highlight important details and draw out aspects of the meaning. Pertinent Scriptures are referenced, and a pronunciation guide and index of names are included. Additional information of interest is given in a section of endnotes, charts, and maps at the end of the book.
