The Book Of Genesis

The Book Of Genesis

BY R CRUMB
Envisioning the first book of the Bible like no one before him, R. Crumb, the legendary illustrator, reveals here the story of Genesis in a profoundly honest and deeply moving way. "It's a cartoonist's equivalent of the Sistine Chapel. It's awesome. Crumb has done a real artist's turn here-he's challenged himself and defied all expectation. . . . I've read Genesis before. But never have I found it so compelling. By placing it squarely in the Middle East-and populating it with distinctively Semitic-looking people-Crumb makes it come alive brilliantly." - Susan Jane Gillman, NPR Suggested Retail $24.95

The Five Gospels

The Five Gospels

What Did Jesus Really Say? The Search For The Authentic Words Of Jesus

BY ROBERT FUNK, ROY HOOVER, THE JESUS SEMINAR
An extremely useful Bible study resource for the individual or meeting. Using the texts of the four gospels plus the Gospel of Thomas, the Jesus Seminar "color code" the words of Jesus. Those in red they attribute to be most reliably spoken by Him. They grade the words in five shades from red to black. Black represents those words that they think others ascribe to Jesus. Very full commentaries on each quotation give context, comparisons with the other Gospels and scholarship on issues raised.

NEW KING JAMES VERSION
Cheap, but readable and presentable bible. With Concordance and Dictionary. Sample of translation: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
