The Bible was not written at one time nor by one author. The collection of 66 books were written over a period of more than 1000 years, and their contents cover a variety of ancient peoples and cultures. If we are to understand and appropriate the Bible's messages today, we need some sense of the historical and cultural contect in which its diverse parts appeared.
