SynopsisBecause the Bible describes a culture very different from that of Western countries today, what it says is sometimes puzzling to modern readers. In many cases, however, the ways in which Near Eastern merchants and farmers carry on their daily work have hardly changed over the intervening centuries since the inspired authors wrote. The aim of this interesting volume is to clarify familiar scriptural phrases and texts by explaining some unusual Eastern customs, thereby shedding new light on the unchanging truth of God's word. Here are fascinating insights into a number of areas of life in biblical lands yesterday and today--clothing and jewels, feasts, home life, women, peasants, fields, tombs, tents, trades, and much more., With fascinating insights into biblical customs and conditions--many of which exist today in the Middle East--Bowen clarifies over 100 scriptural texts and phrases that often puzzle Western readers unfamiliar with the culture of Bible times.

Excellent Title!! grabs the attention and instantly brings the reader to a eastern world view in which the book we love and read took place in history
This is a fantastic book revealing many insights into the nature and habits of the indigenous people of Palestine as well as Hebrew culture and ancient Christian tradition. I reccomend it for everyone. Some books have thousands of pages with little valuable information, this is a small book with few pages but one rich in content.
