Top 3 books covering secrets of scriptures

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Are you familiar with the Scriptures? Scriptures are important writing pieces in Christianity found in the Bible. Several people have written books on secret scriptures. These books give background information about the Bible. They will show you how words, phrases, and even whole genres in the Bible were understood in their original culture. To figure out where the Bible leads us now, you must first understand how it changed how people talked and lived in the ancient Near East. Then, to understand these books of the Bible better. So, to help us understand you better, we made a list of books about these scriptures.

 

1. IVP Bible Background Commentary: Old Testament and New Testament by John Walton and Craig Keener

A two-book set (or digital books that are easy to look up on your Logos Bible App) is organized by chapter and verse to quickly find historical information that affects how you understand the words in the verse. Unfortunately, the background information and the number of verses with commentary are too few. Still, its useful layout and easy introductions to the most important information make it the best tool you can have for Bible study. For example, it will change how you understand the warning to Laodicea in Revelation 3:14-16 that they should be “hot or cold, but not lukewarm.”

 

2. The Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Thought – John Walton

In contrast to the beliefs of other ancient Near Eastern people, the Old Testament had to explain its theology. This scholarly but easy-to-understand survey stops along the way to show how the context in which a passage is read makes it clear what it means. It will change how you read Genesis 1′s long story about how the world was made.

 

3. The New Testament and God’s People: NT Wright

To understand the New Testament, you need to know about the teachings, movements, and expectations of Second Temple Judaism, which developed between when Jews came back from exile in Persia and when Jesus came to earth under Roman rule. NT Wright rethinks the world that gave meaning to Jesus’ movement and, in the end, the early church. He explains how the Hebrew prophets were used to show what people thought God would do next. His explanation of Daniel 7 will change how you understand Jesus’ end-of-the-world prophecies about the Son of Man coming on the clouds with great glory (Matt 24:30).
