'Studying the

Bible in context'

Biblical Backgrounds brings the context of the Bible to teachers, pastors, students and lay people through local seminars. Newly created electronic teaching aids make this study easier and much more enjoyable than ever. We explore the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, meeting the Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks and Romans. As these and many others crossed the land of the Bible the Israelites learned the meaning of faith, and the lessons they learned remain relevant to our day.

The world of the Bible - Participants gain a working knowledge of the land by stepping into the geographical and historical world of the Bible. The big picture becomes clear as imperial priorities are seen against the realities of the Middle East. This larger view makes it possible to open anywhere in the Bible and understand its 'headlines.'

The land of the Bible - Participants also discover the difficulties which the land of the Bible presents to anyone living there. Understanding the land's geographical position, its threatened place in the history of nations and the challenges this land presents to individual and national survival illuminates the teaching of the Bible.

On-going study materials - Biblical Backgrounds' seminars set the scene for a much more serious study of the Bible and its message. The materials used in these seminars are described in the menu to the left. These are not only used during the seminars but also can be usefully reviewed later as study of the Bible and its setting continues.

How to arrange a seminar in your area - Biblical Backgrounds offers its seminars to local churches and schools in time frames which are most convenient for participants. A local pastor or teacher usually contacts Biblical Backgrounds and arranges dates and related matters. Participants range from 50 to 120 and should be committed to a serious learning experience rather than simply coming to hear a speaker. Study materials are required, and assignments are made, but no grades are given.
