BRINGING TO LIFE 7
THE ANCIENT WORLD OF SCRIPTURE
You’ve heard many Bible stories hundreds of
times, but how many behind-the-scenes details
are you missing? Sometimes, a little context is
all you need, to discover the rich meaning be-
yond the stories of Scripture.
That’s what the NIV Cultural Backgrounds
Study Bible provides. Every page is packed
with expert insight into the customs, culture,
and literature of Bible times. These fascinating
explanations will serve to clarify your study of
the Scriptures, reinforcing your confidence and
bringing difficult passages of Scripture into
sharp focus.
Discover new dimensions of insight to even
the most familiar Bible passages, as you take a
behind-the-scenes tour into the ancient world.
The Bible was originally written fro an an-
cient people, removed from us by thousands of
years, and thousands of miles. The Scriptures
include subtle, culturally-based nuances, under-
tones, and references to ancient events, litera-
ture and customs, that were intuitively under-
stood by those who first heard the Scriptures
read. For us to hear the Scriptures as they did,
we need a window into their world.
The NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible,
with notes from Dr. John H. Walton (Wheaton
College) in the Old Testament and Dr. Craig S.
Keener (Asbury Theological Seminary) in the
New Testament, brings to life the ancient world
of Scripture for modern readers.
Features:
• The full text of the NIV
• Targeted book introductions explain the
context in which each book of the Bible
was written
• Insightful and informative, verse-by-verse,
study notes reveal new dimensions of in-
sight to even the most familiar of passages
• Key Old Testament (Hebrew) and New Tes-
tament terms are explained and expanded
upon, in two, helpful, reference features
• More than 300, in-depth, articles on key contextual topics
• 375 full-color photos, illustrations, and images from around the world
• Dozens of charts, maps, and diagrams in vivid color
• Words of Jesus in red
• Additional study Bible tools: cross references, a concordance, indexes and other helps.
