Promotional How I wish someone had put a book like this into my hands 50 years ago -- N. T. Wright, , Research Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity, University of St. Andrews, Scotland Every line and every word in the Bible comes from a context -- historical, social, cultural, theological -- and speaks into those contexts -- sometimes against that culture, sometimes with that culture, and sometimes to expand that culture. In so doing the Bible models how we can speak from our culture and into our culture in very fresh and missional ways. The NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible not only acknowledges this but engages ordinary readers in seeing what it looks like.
