Cultural Change: Jewish; Christian and Islamic Coins of the Holy Land is a full color catalogue of the coins featured in the ANS acclaimed temporary exhibit of the same name. All coins are illustrated in full color; with explanatory text; illustrations of related material; maps and family-trees. The volume serves as the ideal introduction to the coinage of the Holy Land; as well as providing a history of the region from the 4th century BC to Crusader times; illustrated by the coinage that was produced there. As such; it contains some of the earliest Jewish coins; as well as the earliest to bear overtly Christian symbolism. The coins contained in this exhibit are often the finest examples of their kind in existence; and the text has been written by one of the foremost experts in the field; so the resulting volume is as attractive to look at as it is informative.

This one is unique in its theological as well as dramatic portrayal of the events. Unlike other books he focuses on Fatima exclusively. He does not incorporate messages from other Visions. This is probably my favorite book on Fatima that I have read to date.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Mary is Gods Great Sign for the 21st CenturyBy Israel J.
