The Bible: The Book That Bridges the Millennia

Beginnings: The World of the New Testament

Image of OT World View Cosmology

Like the Old Testament world, the New Testament world was still very different from our own. Travel didn't change much...

Then and Now

Then... Travel by camel, horse, and boat. Now... Travel by car, motorcycle, bus, plane (plus camel, horse, and boat!)

History was changing, though.

Other Things Affecting the New Testament World:

  • Diverse cultures (Jews, Persians, Romans, Ethiopians, Samaritans, etc.)
  • Roman occupation
  • Greek philosophy
  • Many religions
  • Wars
  • Geography
  • Migration
  • Exile
