Okay, so when we get to reading chapter 7 we may think that this feels more like a research project than a Bible study. But I thought that Jen pointed out valid reasons why we need to know a little Bible history when delving into God's Word. The personal history of the author is very important to me, because it helps me understand why he says certain things. But I really like how she says we need a "State of the Union" when digging into a book in God's Word. I love finding out what was going on in the world at the time the book was written. It helps even the oldest of books become more relatable because many of the world's issues back then are similar to what many nations are going through today.
So share with us what you thought about digging into Bible history. Where did you find your information? Did you use a study Bible or some other resources that our book suggested?
And then what about the scriptures in Nehemiah? Who was Nehemiah? Did you notice anything historically significant in those verses? Did digging into history make it easier or harder for you when studying these scriptures?
