Knowing the historical and cultural background of the Bible is
crucial to properly understanding and interpreting it. But the
passing of 2,000 years often prevents today's reader from fully
understanding the significance of various actions and teachings of
Jesus in the Gospels. For example, the radical nature of Jesus's
healings on the Sabbath may go unnoticed without an awareness of
first-century Jewish teaching on what was and was not permissible.
Pastors and other serious Bible students may not have access to
important early writings that would provide this background, nor
the time to wade through volumes of source material to find
relevant tidbits. This unique reference work gathers into one handy
volume the key extrabiblical texts that provide the necessary
background for passages in the Gospels, along with introductory
comments by the editors.
