'Studying the

Bible in context' 

How can you understand the 20th century without knowing the impact of two World Wars and the Cold War upon society? In the same way the rise and fall of empires over millennia has had a profound impact upon the Bible and its message—from Abraham to Jesus.

History is anything but boring - News and events flood our world and change our lives. Biblical headlines changed the lives of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Paul and are reflected in their teaching. The excitement of discovering those headlines is made surprisingly easier by Biblical Backgrounds' graphic charts, 3-D 'maps of history.' The process is not difficult and is certainly not boring as the story of the Bible emerges from real world.

Making the big picture clear - Each chart visually presents a larger picture of the period. This always overshadows the details on the chart and allows the user to see how these details fit into the larger whole. If the whole is not seen, details become unrelated and confusing.

Details are always accessible - Once the big picture is understood, the student looks for more information. Details on the chart and collateral reading shed light on the meaning of events embedded in each chart and how they relate to the biblical story.

 

The publication of these period charts in printed and electronic form will be announced on this page. Two are currently available in Biblical Backgrounds' book Regions on the Run.You can see four examples of these charts by choices below or to the left.
