Awesome! Also watching corresponding DVDs.
Living in the first century, daily saturated in Judaism and aware of Israel's still-unfolding history, meant that the scriptures held back-stories that enhanced and enlightened the listeners' understandings. This foundational information was not expounded on by the authors because it was commonly understood.
Scripture from a 1st century perspective is paradigm shifting !

I am reading a chapter a week, then watching the accompanying video. The history and background is so helpful to understanding the context of scripture.
