Taking some of the most popular and well-known phrases of the Bible (as well as some lesser known ones), The New Manners and Customs of the Bible illuminates the background of our Biblical heritage as well as the customs and practices of the people of Biblical times.

Originally written in the late 1800s by James Freeman, this resource has been updated and rewritten by Harold J. Chadwick.

James M. Freeman wrote in his original preface, "Should this volume aid the student in obataining a better understanding of the Bible, the labor of the writer will not have been in vain." In this work, he has succeeded in that goal.
