An image rich, passage-by-passage, five-volume commentary box set
of the entire Old Testament. The Zondervan Illustrated Bible
Backgrounds Commentary 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 set 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 Old Testament. This set brings all five
volumes together into one beautiful package: Volume 1: Genesis,
Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy Volume 2: Joshua, Judges,
Ruth, 1 and 2 Samuel Volume 3: 1 and 2 Kings, 1 and 2 Chronicles,
Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther Volume 4: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations,
Ezekiel, Daniel Volume 5: Minor Prophets, Job, Psalms, Proverbs,
