Synopsis

This book, a cultural and religious history, takes a look at the customs and daily practices of the peoples of the Middle East in Biblical times. An invaluable resource for students of the Bible, this book clarifies the context of the Bible's many stories, making them more accessible and meaningful to modern readers. It presents insights into the daily life of the people in Biblical times. The author delves into the distinctions between how the people of the time lived, and how we live now. Many topics are explored, from the mundane tasks of cooking and eating to the more significant practices of marriage and mourning. While the focus of the context is on daily life, this book also examines the beliefs and rituals of an ancient people and illuminates the historical origins and contexts of many customs and religious practices that have survived into modern times.
