During the 1600s and into the early 1900s, Historians, Bible Scholars, Merchants, and Adventurers undertook expeditions to the Near East. While many went to create business and political opportunities, many went expressly to learn about the inhabitants of this fascinating world and their centuries-old culture. Their goal was gain information that would help them better understand the Holy Scriptures.
Visiting remote areas, dwelling with desert tribes, eating foods they were afraid to have identified, these intrepid seekers of truth endured hardships, discovered great delights, and gained brand new insights into the ancient Biblical world. Most travelers were men. However, a few were accompanied by their wives, and both recorded their experiences in travel journals that were later published and widely circulated during their lifetimes. These travel journals shared new and rare information about the ancient Biblical world that now made reading the Bible a rich, enlightening, and satisfying experience for all. For those who enjoy both history and the Bible, be our guest and explore our Bible topics presented and explained through historical accounts.

About Ancient Bible History
|
The Bible is a fascinating and multi-layered document that is both historical and spiritual in content.
At ABH, we believe that the best way to study and understand the Bible is through the perspective of the ancients. By considering the original languages, customs, culture, traditions, people, places, and events of the time, as mentioned in scripture, the meaning of the texts becomes excitingly obvious, compelling in value, and the spiritual message more fully appreciated . We research a variety of Biblical subjects that include interesting words, phrases, expressions, ideas, and events using a wide variety of common, historical, and rare sources. |
