The New Manners & Customs of Bible Times

Full-Color Edition of the 175,000 Best Seller
Ralph Gower

Do you know why Christ chose a man carrying a pitcher of water to lead the disciples to the Last Supper? Or why the Samaritan woman came to the well in the sweltering heat of midday?

The Bible was written in a culture and land vastly different from our own. It is essential, therefore, that we understand the manners and customs of the time in order to fully understand Scripture.

The New Manners and Customs of Bible Times will open your eyes to the lifestyles and customs of the Bible's writers and character, giving you a clearer understanding of God's Word. You will be enlightened by helpful features including:

• "Look at Your Bible" sections giving special insights into Scripture
• More than 250 full-color or black and white photographs and illustrations
• Detailed maps and diagrams
• Numerous Scripture references on every page
• Topical and scriptural indexes

Read detailed accounts of ancient customs regarding marriage, education, farming, dress, economics, food, housing, worship and more.
