The book has 14 paintings representing scenes from the old testament, each in full color and at least half a page big. It briefly tells the story represented by the painting, tells a little about the artist and why it was painted or how it differs from other paintings of the same scene and shows and explains some details from the painting. I'm quite impressed and will look for the other books in the series.
