Synopsis
The more we know about the culture in which the Bible was written, the greater our appreciation of its teaching, stories, and characters will be. Because the Bible is essentially a book written from the perspective of Middle Eastern culture, it is crucial for readers to gain an awareness of its background. In The World Jesus Knew, a complement to The Essential Bible Reference Library, Anne Punton walks readers through the manners, customs, and culture in which Jesus lived. With a more well-rounded understanding of the Bible, readers will find their walk with the Lord deepened.
