Christians believe that reading and understanding the Bible requires no special knowledge of history. But while that’s true, it’s also true that many familiar Bible stories take on fresh meaning when we understand the cultural context in which they occurred.
Our new devotional Living History: Exploring Biblical Cultures will introduce you to the fascinating world of biblical history and culture. In the course of seven daily devotions, you’ll explore questions like:
- What did early Christians understand about the “mark of the beast” mentioned in Revelation?
- What was unusual about David’s famous battle against Goliath?
- How was Yahweh dramatically different from the commonly-worshipped pagan gods of the Old Testament world?
Living History: Exploring Biblical Cultures is completely free, runs for one week, and begins as soon as you sign up. Sign up for Living History and find answers to these and other fascinating questions about the biblical world!
