Then specific scenes drawn from the biblical text are studied in a way that sheds light on the daily life of the people of that time. Drawing from a variety of sources to recreate the society of ancient Israel--extrabiblical sources and archaeological data as well as the biblical text itself--Dr. Matthews helps the reader to see the ancient world of Israel as never before. Once seen in this way, it will never look the same again.
