Adam and Eve weren't concerned about traffic jams as they strolled
through the Garden of Eden. The Ten Commandments weren't delivered
to Moses by e-mail. So how does the Word, written so long ago, fit
into everyday life today? The Connections series offers today's
readers and students of Scripture an answer to that puzzling
question.
Connections builds an understanding of the relationship between
the Bible and everyday life by examining the individual pieces and
how they fit together. It invites us to broaden our comprehension
of the Bible and its applications to modern life by placing current
Scripture scholarship within the concerns of other fields, such as
ethical problems in light of Scripture, science and Scripture,
contemporary social challenges and Scripture, and the Bible in
non-biblical cultures.
This series reveals more of God's intent, encouraging us to
study and reflect on the Word from the life experiences, outlooks,
and wisdom of many people.
In The Hope of Glory, David deSilva introduces readers to the
cultural context of the ancient Mediterranean world and the role of
the social values of honor and dishonor. He shows that with the
help of cultural anthropologists, sociologists, and ancient authors
who reflected on their culture firsthand, today's readers get a
fresh and illuminating look at the Scriptures.
