  Containing biographies of more than 450 biblical characters from both the Old and New Testaments and the Apocrypha, this colorful edition describes who the people in the Bible are, what they did, and how they have lived on in the imagination, hearts, and souls of readers throughout the ages. Moreover, the book examines how these biblical personages have endured from generation to generation, inspiring innumerable works of art -- in stone, in glass, on canvas, in music, in prose, and in verse. Who's Who in the Bible is an invaluable reference tool that will enhance our understanding of the most influential book in the history of mankind.
