Ancient History: A Framework for the Bible

The Bible is a historical book...

...and that means it can only be fully understood against the backdrop of the history in which its narrative is set.  It is like looking at a painting that is set in a frame.  One can normally see only that which is encompassed by the limitations of the frame.  But imagine if the viewer could move past the frame to see the larger perspective beyond that which is captured by the painting itself.  The purpose of this study is to take the reader "through the looking glass" to see the historical framework in which the story of the Bible takes place.
