Unger’s Bible Handbook, p. 488. For a
helpful description of the geography of
Jerusalem, see the article “Jerusalem” in
The New Bible Dictionary, J. D. Douglas, ed.,
pp. 614-20.
32. The early rain softened the ground for
ploughing; the latter rain watered the seed.
33. The above observations are based on
the reasonable assumption that Palestine’s
climate has not changed much since New
Testament times.
34. An interesting chapter on this subject,
written in narrative style, is “Israel at
Home,” by John B. Taylor, in his book A
Christian’s Guide to the Old Testament, pp.
12-20. This is highly recommended reading.
35. All of these items are described, at least
brie y, in Fred H. Wight’s Manners and

all the items are not necessarily part of
every setting.

38. As noted earlier, during the Babylonian
Captivity the Jews began worshiping
regularly in meeting places, later called
synagogues (from the Greek synagoge,
“place of assembly”). They probably

reference to it in the postexilic books of the
Old Testament. By New Testament times
the synagogue was a well-established
institution.

Testament, pp. 12,17.

Bible, p. 68.
41. The Bible itself is the revelatory source
of those key truths. That will become more
apparent to you as you survey the various
books of the New Testament.
42. Actually, the list of key New Testament
truths is extensive. After you have studied
this selected list, add others that come to
your mind. And also keep in mind that all
Bible truths are important.

p.56.
44. The Greek word (charis), which is
translated grace, is sometimes translated gift
(e.g., Rom. 6:23).
