description: The Bible was written in a world that isn't ours. Randy Collins spends thirteen chapters handing you the cultural keys — the feasts, the Sabbath, the temple, the marriage customs, and the everyday habits that the biblical writers assumed their readers already understood. Jewish Culture and Customs is a thirteen-chapter study of the Jewish life and practice that stands behind the biblical text.
