Bible History Online
Bible History Online has been providing information and insights into biblical history since 1995. We affirm that the Bible is about God's activities in history. It deals with actual people in an actual geographical area during actual specified historical times who had contact with other actual peoples and empires whom we know of from historical sources outside the Bible. We believe that knowledge of the historical background of the Bible is essential to a comprehensive understanding of the Scriptures.
