The Complete Visual Bible
By Stephen M. Miller
Barbour Books, 2011, 528 pp., $19.99
Imagine a time capsule open for thousands of years so every person in the Bible could put something into it. This would be more than a random collection of trinkets, for it’s as personal as a diary and as comprehensive as an encyclopedia. Between snapshots and scribbles, you’d no longer see Bible characters, but real people who lived, thought and interacted with God just as clearly and confusingly as we do.
The Complete Visual Bible is that compilation, and it is a win. Miller’s street-level language and academic insights invite every generation into the dialogue. Amateur and seasoned theologians will discover truths for their own spiritual formation and ministry to others. Don’t let the title confuse you, however; it’s not a biblical text, but a Genesis to Revelation scrapbook. Nonetheless, this is a valuable resource you’ll want students and leaders to have right next to their reading of the Scripture.
