all theological scholars attest to the fact that the bible CANNOT be studied without the study of the history, values and language at the time the specific books of the bible were written
----------------------
The '' theological scholars'' of Jesus' day made similar claims about him.
(Matthew 13:54-58) After coming into his home territory, he began to teach them in their synagogue, so that they were astounded and said: “Where did this man get this wisdom and these powerful works? 55 Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Where, then, did he get all of this?” 57 So they began to stumble because of him. But Jesus said to them: “A prophet is not without honor except in his home territory and in his own house.” 58 And he did not perform many powerful works there on account of their lack of faith.
