Discover the worlds of the Bible in a whole new way. The new series "Worlds of the Bible" makes the socio-historical context of biblical texts transparent. Each volume opens up pathways to a better understanding of the Bible and its theological statements, while also raising new questions. The themes of the volumes are oriented around the life contexts in which the biblical texts were created and to which they refer. The work focuses on the significance of the respective socio-historical environment for understanding the Bible. Each volume is authored by two writers who examine the Old or New Testament in light of a specific socio-historical constellation. The series is not aimed at an inner-academic discourse but is presented in a more accessible linguistic and didactic manner.
