Summary:

The 'Dictionary of Daily Life in Biblical and Post-Biblical Antiquity' is a comprehensive reference work designed to explore various aspects of daily life in ancient biblical and post-biblical times. Developed over three decades with contributions from eminent scholars, this dictionary provides insights into cultural practices not explicitly covered in biblical texts, such as abortion, food production, and clothing. It examines these subjects through the lens of different historical periods and regions, including ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, early Judaism, and Christianity. The work aims to fill gaps left by existing Bible dictionaries by offering a broader cultural and historical context. Each entry is supported with bibliographical references for further study, making it a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the historical and cultural backdrop of the biblical world.
