The "Discovering the Bible" series provides an informative and accessible means of finding out why the Bible remains so important. Each story is accompanied by an information panel, illustrations and maps of where these events took place. This title is the opening volume in the New Testament series and first explains the situation before the birth of the two great prophets of the Gospel, first John the Baptist, and then Jesus himself. It describes the story of the nativity, before dealing with Jesus' early ministry in Galilee. Covering such miracles as the feeding of the 5000, and Jesus walking on water, this book offers an insight into the early life of the greatest figure in the Christian religion.
