Daily Life in Biblical Times follows in the footsteps of the biblical heroes, examining their daily lives based on the social and legal realities of their time, almost four thousand years ago. In her book, Ravid examines the biblical narrative from a historical viewpoint, and delves into questions such as whether Sarah's infertility might have been caused by the journey's hardships and severe shortage of food, and why the Bible begins with stories of the forefathers and foremothers and describes them as simple shepherds. Discussing all these questions and more, Ravid escorts the reader on a visit to their homeland with this insightful and witty book that presents a realistic picture of the daily lives of the heroes who have accompanied us for thousands of years.
Readers of the English Bible are often unaware of the special writing style of the original Hebrew, which uses rich wordplay and double entendre to add multiple layers of color and depth to the text. Especially for the non-Hebrew reader, the author opens a window on this hidden world within the words.
Dr. Liora Ravid is a native Israeli who earned her PhD in biblical studies at Bar Ilan University. She is a lecturer and researcher, she takes part in the Biblical Times podcast, and she has written the book Daily Life in Biblical Times (Gefen Publishing, 2013).
