	The Bible in Context: How History and Archaeology Are Changing the Way We Read the Bible is a 3-DVD set featuring lectures by five eminent Bible scholars and archaeologists. Lectures: Everyday Life in Ancient Israel By William G. Dever, University of Arizona William G. Dever transports us back to ancient Israel through countless beautiful images and archaeological finds from the region that enable us to glimpse what everyday life might have been like in the world in which the Bible was written. The Sexuality of Yahweh By Michael D. Coogan, Stonehill College Michael D. Coogan explores the sexual nature of Yahweh as described in the biblical texts and discusses the evidence that a feminine divine partner to Yahweh played an important role in popular Israelite religion. The Text and Interpretation of Isaiah in the Dead Sea Scrolls By Peter Flint, Trinity Western University Peter Flint introduces us to the Great Isaiah Scroll, one of the first and most treasured scrolls to be found in the caves at Qumran. Flint uses it to demonstrate how information in the Dead Sea Scrolls is shedding new light on how we read and understand the Bible today. The Biblical Sense of the Past Ronald S. Hendel, University of California, Berkeley Ronald S. Hendel exposes the tension between our modern methods of historical inquiry and the Biblical sense of the past, and he proposes that a new understanding of history is necessary to be able to appreciate the Bible in all its richness and on its own terms. How to Read the Bible Today By James A. Sanders, Claremont School of Theology James A. Sanders encourages us to approach the Bible free from the confines of our modern interpretations and with eye towards the power and meaning of the words in their original context.
