The Priest and the Concubine: Judges 19-21 →
The third adaptation in the “Betsy’s Sunday School Bible Classics” series. From the Book of Judges comes this less well known story, but one you won’t want to miss. Starts with a gang rape and ends with genocide — truly a bible classic.

The Bible restored to its full g(l)ory.
Betsy’s Sunday School Bible Classics takes classic stories from the old testament (from Abraham and Isaac to Moses and the Midianites), puts back all the stuff that was removed to keep children from running away screaming, and illustrates it.
