| Résumé : |
Why was the woman Jesus described in Luke 15 so excited about finding a coin worth only about fifteen cents'?
Why did the psalmist in Psalm 23 speak of the Lord’s rod and staff as comforting him? How was the woman in Luke 7 able to wash Jesus’ feet with her tears? In Proverbs 27:15 why did Solomon compare a quarrelsome woman to a leaky roof? If questions like these have puzzled you as you have read the Bible, this easy-to-understand book by G. Christian Weiss will deepen your understanding and appreciation for the truths of the Bible. It clearly and simply explains the various customs of people in Bible lands that make these passages understandable. Covering thirty-three different topics, these short studies deal with such diverse areas as marriage customs, mirrors, water and irrigation, harvesting, strange animals, and oil. Each chapter relates the customs explained to specific passages where difficulties have arisen. No matter what your background, you will find insights here that will open new areas of understanding for you as you study God’s Word. |
