Then specific scenes drawn from the biblical text are studied in a way that sheds light on the daily life of the people of that time. Drawing from a variety of sources to recreate the society of ancient Israel--extrabiblical sources and archaeological data as well as the biblical text itself--Dr. Matthews helps the reader to see the ancient world of Israel as never before. Once seen in this way, it will never look the same again.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Victor Harold Matthews</note> <subject> <topic>Palestine -- Social life and customs -- To 70 A.D</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">220.95</classification> <classification authority="ddc">V642-M44</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0913573760</identifier> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2021-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070416.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
