I ordered this book because I enjoy teaching the Bible and desire to better understand the culture in which it was written. The book is a good source. It does cover the biblical culture, and it also covers the progression of culture through several following centuries. I would recommend the book to anyone desiring to better understand the Jewish faith.

Very good read and resource for your library.
