Bible Question: For closing the culture gap, can anyone suggest material for understanding Roman belief system, view of diety, salvation, and other "doctrines" that were not only relevant during Jesus' ministry, but to which Mark spoke in his gospel, and to which Paul addressed in his letter to the Romans? |
Bible Answer: lgsb737 I can think of a few references. The New Manners and Customs of Bible Times, Moody press. The writings of secular historians Josephus and Philo will give you excellent info. Also go to the library and look up Roman History and Culture. There are many many excellent books on the subject. Lastly I would try a few searches on the internet using keywords like "Roman culture" or "Roman belief system" or "Roman sociology" or “Roman religious systems” EdB |
