Persia and the Bible
by Edwin Yamauchi
Baker Books, 580 pages


Internationally noted historian Edwin Yamauchi paints an incisive
portrait of Persia’s role in Old Testament history. As well as providing a detailed assessment of the archaeology and Biblical data, he weaves into his meticulously documented text more than one hundred photos, maps and diagrams.

But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days:
but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me;
and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
Daniel 10:13
