Description

Essential Companion to Life in Bible Times organizes material according to theme. Then, it provides you with the information that is most useful for appreciating the cultural background of the biblical writings. The book begins with a chapter on the family—describing what the Bible says about children. Learn about what it would look like to be a child in the Bible, from birth to education and adult. This resource also discusses the roles played by men and women when they reached adulthood, covering topics of sex, marriage, divorce, old age, death, and burial.

From there, topics include:

  • The household—from house architecture and furniture to the subjects of food and water
  • Health and illnesses in biblical times.
  • Social life, including population, the calendar, economics, crafts, travel and trade, dress, and music.
  • Government in the towns, the larger cities, and the state; including the role of the king, as well as the function of elders and officials.
  • Israel’s religious life—from the use of high places and altars, to the importance of the tabernacle and the temple, to role of priests and Levites.
