An image rich, passage-by-passage commentary that integrates
textual and artifactual context from the ancient Near East to
inform our understanding and interpretation of the Hebrew
Bible-while remaining respectful to the inerrancy of Scripture.
Without a deep knowledge of the ancient cultures the Old Testament
was born from, we can be tempted to impose our own culture on the
text, potentially distorting it. This unique Bible backgrounds
commentary examines: The history of the ancient Near East as a
means of recovering knowledge of the events that shaped the lives
of the people. The archaeology as a means of recovering the
lifestyle reflected in the material cultures. The literature of the
ancient Near East as a means of understanding the heart and soul of
the people who inhabited the ancient world that Israel shared.
Detailed exegetical notes are combined with comparative discussions
of the cultural settings that help scholars interpret the
Pentateuch. This volume of the celebrated Zondervan Illustrated
Bible Backgrounds Commentary series brings the first five books of
the Bible into sharper focus-enabling scholars, pastors, and laity
to access rich data from over one hundred and seventy years of
explorations and excavations in the Near East. THE ZONDERVAN
ILLUSTRATED BIBLE BACKGROUNDS COMMENTARY SERIES Invites you to
enter the world of the Old Testament with a company of seasoned
guides, experts who will give new insights into these cherished
writings. Features: Over 2000 photographs, drawings, maps,
diagrams, and charts provide a visual feast that breathes fresh
life into the text. Passage-by-passage commentary presents
archaeological findings, historical explanations, geographic
insights, notes on manners and customs, and more. Analysis into the
literature of the ancient Near East will open your eyes to new
depths of understanding both familiar and unfamiliar passages.
Written by an international team of 30 specialists, all top
scholars in background studies.
