The customs and language found in the Bible are from the ancient world. In Eastern Customs of the Bible: The Teachings of Bishop K.C. Pillai, the ministry of Bishop Pillai has brought to the West informative and spiritual explanations of difficult-to-understand Bible passages. The lessons learned by the author from Bishop Pillai apply Eastern thought and ways of life to the familiar parables and stories, and bring a deeper understanding and appreciation of God's purpose and desire for mankind.
