In its own right, the text of this book is an outstanding overview of Scripture and how to study, understand, and apply it to our daily lives. However, the artistic excellence and creativity of the visuals separate this book from many similar works. Incredibly helpful and memorable, this is a source I will return to again and again.

This has good information I won't deny that.
I also found the underlying sexism to this book. Women are mentioned 4 times in this book, two women are named (Mary- but only as the mother of Jesus blurb) and "Rehab the prostitute")
It's clear that these authors lean more to the side of "no to women in ministry"
I found it specifically interesting the one sentence... (pg. 178)
"Two women discovered the tomb was empty, they were Jesus' disciples." Not their names EVEN THOUGH THE BIBLE ITSELF NAMES THEM.
(Mary Magdalene and also Mary)
However later in the book(pg 188) "a Gentile man named Cornelius had received a vision from God"
* I found it interesting how the writers choose to name the men even for a small sentence such as this, but not the name of women.
