Our series, That the World May Know (12 volumes), focuses on the cultural, historical, and geographical context of the people of the Bible (those to whom God spoke). By understanding their world, we modern Christians will deepen our appreciation and understanding of God’s Word.

Goal:

To strengthen our relationship with the Triune God, to reach a deeper understanding of God’s Word, and to reinforce how we are to respond in today’s culture. Previous Bible knowledge helpful, not required.
