5.0 out of 5 stars The best overall cultural background book that anyone needs!, September 19, 1997
By A Customer
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

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit outdated..., April 15, 2007
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to a home library, but when more professional responses are needed, the reader should be aware that the material is outdated. I purchased the 2003 Reprint in 2004 and it was already out of date then.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.

1.0 out of 5 stars there are much better antiquity books, March 20, 1998
By A Customer
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.

Though there may be a mistake or error here or there; they are not so serious as to get the student of the Bible into serious doctrinal error. Read more
