Interpretation Bible Studies John
Wanting to learn more History of Bible, recommend any books? (Historian authors preferred)?
I know the best place is the Bible (that I'm reading) but also there is things that historians have found out through years and years of study that help open up the reading of the Word even more.
I would rather take historian authors because a true historian writes history without adding his opinion or interpretation. There are thousands of books with Bible history where authors give their interpretation of what happen here and their interpretation of what they think happen there, THEN there are the actual facts.
I know there has to be some theologian or historian books out there that focus on the facts and not THEIR beliefs. I want the facts. The Holy Spirit will be my interpreter. Please help!
Also interested in history of the Church. (ex: about Martin Luther, Paul, John Wesley, etc...)
THANKS IN ADVANCE ALL!!!
