Where in the Wide World? - The BAS Library

In 1994, we started running a new department on the very last page of the magazine. WorldWide—as the name suggests—has been a place for us to look beyond our usual borders to explore the beautiful, mysterious and sometimes amusing artifacts that were produced by ancient cultures throughout the world during the Biblical period. For this special issue, we’ve collected some of our favorite WorldWides from the past 15 years.
