  • "Trade Paperback with 283 pages - black/white photo's and illustrations. - Dr. Matthews offers even more helpful insights into the biblical world. Over a hundred Scripture passages have been placed alongside the text to complement the discussion and to keep the relevant biblical passages in view. More than twenty new illustrations and photos help to give an even better "feel" for the world of Abraham, David, Jesus, and Paul. - How did the Exile change Israel's religious life? Why would Lot even think of throwing his daughters to a mob? What exactly were the differences between Herodians, Sadducees, Pharisees, and Essenes? Lots of questions crop up when you read the Bible. For answers, you need insight into the Bible's culture, its people and how they lived, what they wore, what they ate, what they built, how they exercised justice, how they mourned, how they viewed family and legal customs!"
  • "This resource will help readers gain invaluable background information on the Bible's culture, its people, and how they lived. Each chapter furnishes an introduction to the historical, political, and physical setting of five basic periods in Israel's history. Drawing from clues in the biblical text, archaeological discoveries, and contemporary documents, Dr. Matthews opens up both difficult and overly familiar passages of Scripture. He explains cultural practices, religious tensions, and apparent contradictions in the Bible."
