Good Oversight

There is of course some disagreement about hermeneutics. How much do we need to know the back-story? Did God really intend to keep the meaning of the text hidden until archaeologists could unlock some secrets for us? I'm inclined to say that the history is not vital to understanding, but it does add a richness to both understanding and teaching. We used this book in my New Testament I class and I found it to be quite helpful to bringing first-century Palestine to life.
