Bible Narratives

Who Was Paul's Pen-Pal, Timothy?

Two of the Pauline letters in the Bible were sent to someone named Timothy. But what do we know about him?

Who Was the Pharaoh of Exodus?

The name of the Egyptian Pharaoh with whom Moses contended is not given in the Bible. Study of archeological records does not absolutely solve this, but points strongly in a specific direction.

Who Was the Queen of Sheba?

The Queen of Sheba’s visit to the court of King Solomon is described in a short, uneventful biblical tale. And yet, this simple narrative has inspired a myriad of legends, stories, and artwork that explore the queen as a wealthy and wise monarch, a black Ethiopian queen, a nationalist hero, and even possibly a half-demon.

Who Were the Money-changers?

When Jesus went to the Temple, he threw out the money-changers... but why?

Who Were The Philistines?

Most children know the story of David and Goliath, but who were the Philistines?

Who Were the Samaritans?

During the Neo-Assyrian Empire, expansion began, particularly toward the west. Sargon II (722-705 BCE) ended the Northern Kingdom of Israel. To reduce future rebellions, the Assyrians practiced the exchange of populations, moving their own people into Northern Israel and driving the Jews east. The mixing of new Assyrian populations with the few remaining Israelites produced a new, hybrid culture.
