Summary:

The 'Dictionary of Daily Life in Biblical and Post-Biblical Antiquity' explores various aspects of daily life in ancient times, focusing on both biblical and post-biblical periods. This comprehensive reference work, initially conceived by the esteemed Old Testament scholar Roland K. Harrison, provides insights into topics such as food production, clothing, dwellings, and social customs. By examining cultural practices in ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, and early Jewish and Christian societies, the book aims to fill gaps left by traditional Bible dictionaries. It highlights significant cultural elements not prominently featured in biblical texts but critical to understanding ancient life, such as astrology, dreams, and divination. Intended for scholars and students of biblical history, the book offers a multi-faceted view of the ancient world, supported by archaeological and textual evidence. Generated by AI.
