Though the Bible itself is a well-known book, there remain many things within its pages that are not well-known—things that have been overlooked or misunderstood. Sometimes nuggets of truth are buried just beneath the surface which, with a little digging, can be discovered! That’s what this book is all about.
Over 500 little-known truths about translations, quotations, words, people, places, and things.
Was the Fall in Eden a surprise to God? Where did Cain get his wife? Did it take Noah 120 years to build the ark? Did Noah pronounce a curse on Ham? What woman’s age is mentioned in the Bible and why? Who was the Ethiopian wife of Moses?
