Early Christian Families in Context: An Interdisciplinary DialogueTypical studies of marriage and family in the early Christian period focus on very limited evidence found in Scripture. This interdisciplinary book offers a broader, richer picture of the first Christian families by drawing together research by experts ranging from archaeologists to ancient historians. By exploring the nature of households in the ancient Greco Roman world, the contributors assemble a new understanding of ancient Christian families

Typical studies of marriage and family in the early Christian period focus on very limited evidence found in Scripture. This interdisciplinary book offers a broader, richer picture of the first Christian families by drawing together research by experts ranging from archaeologists to ancient historians.By exploring the nature of households in the ancient Greco-Roman world, the contributors assemble a new understanding of ancient Christian families that is both compelling and instructive. Divided into six parts, the book covers key aspects of ancient family life, from meals and child-rearing to women's roles and the lives of slaves. Three concluding chapters explore the implications of all this information for theological education today.Contributors: David L. BalchSuzanne DixonJ. Albert HarrillRoss S.

A must buy for anybody who is a fan of Halo
Format: Hardcover
I consider this a must buy for anybody who calls themselves fans of the Halo franchise. The level of detail in this book is out of this world and the quality is top notch. This book has amazing artwork and a plethora of information you could easily spend countless hours diving into. I've been playing Halo for two decades now and I have learned more from this book about the Halo universe than I ever did playing the games.

A Fantastic overview of the Halo universe in a beautiful format
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Truly an excellent book. Goes over nearly everything with detail and beautiful images. Everything from Noble Team, to the races of the Covenant, weapons, ships, frigates, and much much more. This book is so full of information it makes my arm sore holding it while I read. Highly recommend this for Halo Fans. As a fan who’s loved the series since Halo 2 in 2004, I would never hesitate to buy this book. Darkhorse has published a winner here!

Very Nice but don’t expect perfect condition
Format: Hardcover
Very nice book and thick with super nice pictures, it was a Christmas gift. My son collects books, but it was damaged. It was inside of a very nice box but not enough filling . But the edges are all messed up. Not really worth collecting. If you don’t care about the book being in very nice condition, this is a nice book.
