Synopsis

This book explores the vivid and archaic world of the Old Testament through the lens of the local colour of the Middle East. The author, an acknowledged expert in the field, draws on decades of research to elucidate the customs, manners, environment and day-to-day social interactions of the ancient world described in the book of Genesis. Through this exploration, the significance and deeper meaning of the familiar stories of the Old Testament are revealed, bringing to life the experiences and characters of the Bible in an illuminating and immersive way. The author employs a variety of sources to explore the world of Genesis, including archaeological evidence, historical records, local traditions, and cultural practices. By comparing and contrasting the experiences of the people of the Bible with those of modern-day Middle Easterners, he shines a light on the significance of the text for readers today, and provides a better understanding of the broader historical and literary context in which it was written.
