This book was a collaborative project. Many individuals joined this effort, for this resource to become a reality. I want to first thank the writers who invested countless hours to the writing of their section(s). Each of these writers donated their time without any financial remuneration, because they believed in this venture (see “Introduction”).

In addition to these writers, I am very grateful to Debbie Greer for her laborious efforts proof reading this text. She did this with great care, enthusiasm, and in a timely manner. I am also indebted to my dedicated personal assistant, Ruby Peterson, who also proofread this text, looked up each Scripture reference, compiled the individual contributions, and formatted the manuscript. She deserves much credit for this finished product.

Moreover, the culture is extremely foreign to the contemporary reader. For these reasons and more some Christians have given up on trying to understand the Bible, others who are ambitious enough to try, do not know where to begin, still others who have studied the Bible their whole lives, want to dig deeper. If one of these descriptions identifies you, then the Surveying ...
