▼▲Discover new dimensions of insight with a behind-the-scenes tour of the ancient world
Youve heard many Bible stories hundreds of times, but how many details are you missing? Sometimes a little context is all you need to discover the rich meaning behind even the most familiar stories of Scripture. Thats what the NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible provides.
