Manners and Customs of the Bible

by James Midwinter Freeman
Manners and Customs of the Bible
Manners and Customs of the Bible

Ancient cultures illuminate Biblical texts.

If you've ever found yourself puzzled by the context of Biblical stories, "Manners & Customs of the Bible" can serve as a sort of cultural guidebook. It might just add layers of meaning to your reading, making familiar passages fresh again by shining a light on the customs and everyday life of the times. Whether you're reading for faith or scholarly interest, this could be the companion to make the ancient words resonate in today's world.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

For over 100 years, Freeman's Manners and Customs of the Bible has been the serious Bible student's choice. Short of enrolling in a course in ancient Hebrew civilization, The New Manners and Customs of the Bible is the quickest, easiest, and most enjoyable way to understand the people and culture of the Bible. It is an invaluable key to unlocking a complete and accurate understanding of Scripture that is often hidden in ancient Hebrew culture. Do you know what significance earrings had in Biblical times? What the sources were for the waters for Noah's Flood? What Jesus really meant by the "eye of the needle"? What it means for Christ to wear "many crowns"? What Paul was referring to by a "triumphal procession"? What the differences are between a modern and a Biblical wedding celebration? All these questions and hundreds more are answered in The New Manners and Customs of the Bible. It's a reference book that belongs on the bookshelf of every earnest Bible student and teacher.
