Product Description
Product Description
Fully revised! BIGGER and BETTER than ever! Over 700 Scripture references, in sequence, from Genesis to Revelation. Hundreds of cross-references. Dozens of popular expressions that came from the Bible. More illustrations and photographs than ever before. For over 100 years, Freemans Manners and Customs of the Bible has been the serious Bible students choice. Short of enrolling in a course in ancient Hebrew civilization, The New Manners & Customs of the Bible is the quickest, easiest, and most enjoyable way to understand the people and culture of the Bible. It is an invaluable key to unlocking a complete and accurate understanding of Scripture that is often hidden in ancient Hebrew culture. Do you know, for example: What significance earrings had in Biblical times? What the sources were for the waters for Noahs Flood? What Jesus really meant by the eye of the needle? What it means for Christ to wear many crowns? What Paul was referring to by a triumphal procession? What the differences are between a modern and a Biblical wedding celebration? All these questions and hundreds more are answered in The New Manners & Customs of the Bible. Its a reference book that belongs on the bookshelf of every earnest Bible student and teacher.
Ingram

there are much better antiquity books, Mar 20 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New Manners & Customs...Bible (Paperback)
This book has many errors, and displays them proudly. It seems to support many misconceptions in people have about the Bible. While claiming to explain what terms in the Bible actually mean, it actually distorts the meaning. For example, it talks about the verse in mark about the camel going through the eye of the needle, and explains how there was a gate called "the needles eye" in Jerusalem. While many laymen believe this, this just ain't so. There has never been any substantial evidence to back up this claim. If one is interested in a book like this, I suggest a book translated from German titled "What the Bible Really Says" or "The Oxford Companion to the Bible." Leave Freeman's book on the shelf.

The best overall cultural background book that anyone needs!, Sep 19 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Manners and Customs of the Bible (Hardcover)
Out of the 4 or 5 books on Bible manners and customs that reside in my small home library, this book is most definately the best and most used. Freeman presents insightful and relevant cultural background to almost every important verse in every book of the Bible. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to be purchased by anyone remotely interested in the manners and customs of Bible times. It is a real winner and should be in everyone's library

A bit outdated..., April 15 2007
By ~serapha~ - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: New Manners & Customs...Bible (Paperback)
Overall, the book would be a good addition to a home library, but when more professional responses are needed, the reader should be aware that the material is outdated. I purchased the 2003 Reprint in 2004 and it was already out of date then. Many of the resources just aren't available either to verify the information as the text uses such old resources that they are either out of print or just unavailable. One good point... it does give recognition to which is the better rendering of word usage--either the KJV or the NIV.
Listmania!
