It has amazing historical insights and very thought provoking questions at the end of each chapter. Along with beautiful pictures depicting traits and parts of their lives I had never thought of. I loved how the author differentiates between "this is what we know" and "this is speculation". It is obvious there is a LOT of time, energy, effort, and forethought put into compiling this book. Once read, it serves as a great ref... moreerence book. She is also working on one for women of the New Testament.
