What were they thinking? What were their customs? How did the geology of the area affect them and influence their understanding? The truth in the Bible was written in such a way that the people to whom it was written would understand it. It would reference their way of life, their customs, their lifestyle, their technology, government and religious beliefs. When the Bible is attempted to be understood outside of those parameters, problems arise. The fact is that the Bible was not written to us in the year 2015 or beyond. It was not written to Bible scholars of the 1800's. It was not written to the evangelists of the 1900's. The Bible was written to a special group of people who lived during the time that Christ walked on the earth and to their predecessors, namely, the Israelites. Only the people of the 1st century could truly apply and understand the writings and teachings of Scripture in a way that could be fully comprehended, if only they would have believed. Ron McRay gives a fantastic insight into the Judean social world and daily living that brings perspective to the Bible in a whole new light.
