#75 - Importance of Understanding Culture - Exodus (pt. 2) - a podcast by Fig Tree Ministries

God brought the Bible to the world through Israel - in the culture of the east.

The Bible was written in the east by easterners and given first to easterners. The Bible is an eastern book.The cultural gap between the Ancient Near East (ANE) and the modern West is profound.

This video explores how the West and the East communicate through their specific cultural context.If we don't take the time to consider the differences between the culture of the Bible and our own culture, we run the risk of misinterpreting the text.
