New Exodus Resource

The newest BiblePlaces newsletter (subscribe for free here) has announced the release of Exodus, the latest volume of the Photo Companion to the Bible Series. As a preacher and teacher, I have found that Exodus is a biblical book that can really benefit from visuals, and I am aware of no better resource for doing this than the Photo Companions. Not only do you have a carefully curated collection of relevant high resolution photos but also Bible-encyclopedia like commentary that is outstanding in its own right. And this resource seems to anticipate what photos would be the most helpful. I highly recommend it and Exodus and its 6,000 photos is currently on sale for only $69 for a DVD+download or download-only.
