Exploring the full range of the Bible, this set presents key books of Scripture individually, in compact 4¼ x 5¾ inch paperbacks with striking cover designs. All the texts appear in the King James translation, with new introductions: Here are P.D. James commenting on Acts, Karen Armstrong on Hebrews, A.S. Byatt examining the Song of Solomon, and Ruth Rendell on Paul's Epistle to the Romans. Also included are the books of Isaiah, Samuel, Ruth, Esther, Jonah, and even the apocryphal Wisdom of Solomon, discussed by such writers as Joanna Trollope, Peter Ackroyd, and Alasdair Gray.
