| | The Bible in History: How Writers Create a Past (Thomas Thompson) |
| | The Bible in History is a study of how the Bible fits into history — the way in which it deals with the past, the history of the period it is traditionally supposed to describe, and the history of the period in which it was written. | | | It describes the appropriation of the Bible by Europe and the modern clash between bible studies and theology, then gives some examples of how profoundly different ancient philosophy was and how the meaning and interpretation of bible texts have changed over time. | | | Thompson begins by describing the social and historical setting within which the bible stories were written and the background of their authors. |

| | Because there was no “official” version of the Bible in England at this time, the Archbishop of Canterbury suggested the Geneva Bible be revised by the Bishop’s to be used by all the churches. | | | One of the results is that Jerome’s Latin Vulgate version of the Bible is held to be the official version of the Bible accepted by the Catholic Church. | | | The Great Bible is called that because of it’s size but it is basically Matthews Bible and was authorized for public use. |

| | Hus was burned at the stake in 1415, with Wycliffe’s manuscript Bibles used as kindling for the fire. | | | It is truly the “Bible of the Protestant Reformation.” Strangely, the famous Geneva Bible has been out-of-print since 1644, so the only way to obtain one is to either purchase an original printing of the Geneva Bible, or a less costly facsimile reproduction of the original 1560 Geneva Bible. | | | One of Wycliffe’s followers, John Hus, actively promoted Wycliffe’s ideas: that people should be permitted to read the Bible in their own language, and they should oppose the tyranny of the Roman church that threatened anyone possessing a non-Latin Bible with execution. |

| | I think an understanding of Bible history is very important because we tend to forget that the people of the ancient world were living, breathing beings just like you and me. They had families, hopes and dreams--and a multitude of problems most of us don't have today. | | | For us, the more we understand about daily life and customs in Bible times, the clearer our understanding can be of the Holy Scriptures and how they can apply to our lives today. | | | Other than that, I'm just a mild-mannered pastor with a deep interest in getting as many people as possible interested in ancient Bible history so that the message of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, will be as clear as possible. |
