Baker Illustrated Bible Handbook missing illustration descriptions

Mark Smith · June 2013

Scanning this new resource I noticed many illustrations and photos that have no accompanying caption. We don't know what we are looking at.

Example: Check the Political Setting & Social Setting & Religious Setting for the New Testament under Setting for the New Testament (page 471+). There are a number of photos with no cations.

I don't have a print copy to compare so they mat be missing there, but it looks like this one needs a going over for photo and illustration captions.

I have the hard copy and attached some scans (sorry about the quality) of what the sections that you mentioned look like in the printed version.

Thanks. These are the images in the digital version. It doesn't appear that they have captions but you could verify that for me.

You are correct. Many pictures are more for a decorative look. Some do have captions though.

For example, on page 418 under the heading of "What is at the Heart of the Book of Micah?" you will see a picture of a plowshare that has the caption ""They will beat their swords into plowshares" (Mic 4:3). Pictured above is an ancient plowshare."

On page 419 there is a picture of a wall relief with the caption of "Dominating the historical background for Micah is the expanding Assyrian empire. Pictured above from a wall relief in Sennacherib's palace is a scene of captured people being deported."

I did see some captions which made me think this was an oversight in creating the digital version. A shame that in both resources captions are missing. Without information they are just wallpaper.

Thanks for your help.

Mark or Rick can you please tell me the file names (.logos4) of these 4 books just released? I want to move them to my offline installation. Thanks.

Do you have them in an "online installation"?

If so, you should be able to find out the names by clicking on the resource information button (top right of the resource), scrolling to the bottom and looking at the support info.

That's because they want to encourage you to go to the Holy Land, so that you can find out for yourself what they show.[:P]
