"John the Baptist was a cool guy." Does that mean he was
never hot? Or that he handled pressure well? Or that he was a fun
guy to be around? The answer partly depends on who said it, when it was
said, why it was said, where it was said, etc. And it also depends on the
culture at the time it was said. So to understand what the Bible says, we
must also understand the culture and customs of the times described in the
Bible. Click on a topic below for information about life in biblical times
that you can use when
teaching Bible stories and truths to children in your Christian Preschool or
Children's Ministry Sunday School class.
