I am in great need of some websites, books or ANYTHING that can provide very in-depth information concerning the background of each book of scripture. Of course this information is of the utmost importance when thoroughly investigating scripture, but I do not have such material. There are bibles with a little introduction piece before some books, but I'm looking for something that is much more involved (for lack of a better word). PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if anyone has information regarding the aforementioned, please forward it to a seeking brother. Thank you so much in advance. Much love in Yahuweh.
May Yah continue to bless and keep each one of you, and may you continue to diligently seek Him, learn of Him, and love Him above all else. Shalom.

You know what Sir Godfrey? I've had the exact same conviction these past few weeks, it will help in this quest for knowledge and wisdom and understanding. Yada asked the same question in the thread The Big Picture, under the History of Scripture section, last month. Check it out: Yada wrote:I would very much like to find a book that gives a good `history` of Scripture. When the books were written (and by whom), their historical context, how they were preserved and distributed, where the various manuscripts reside now, etc.?
Can anyone suggest something? So far no one has answered his question. It would be interesting to see if anyone knows of a good and relaible resource that provides introduction to the books.

But the link is interesting.

man, i just don't know where people get the information from when they say... at the time, this was going on and this is why Paul (Shaul) or whomever wrote this. example: the corinthians and the women cutting their hair short like the prostitutes were doing at the time thus paul saying something about hair ... that is really paraphrasing, but i noticed it in a thread a few weeks back.
just really would like to know the historical background of the accounts... my understanding would infinitely be multiplied (it seems). im noticing more and more and more, people taking scripture out of context. i know this is prevalant today, but it is just ridiculous. and its not necessarily because they are meaning to do it -- they are just ignorant of what it is actually saying when taking the history and context into consideration.

You may want to try Barnes' Notes, sirgodfrey. They're readily available, and they've been around for a while, so they shouldn't be too expensive (I use a software version that's part of Quickverse). These volumes may provide the historical background you're looking for. If I'm not mistaken, Yada uses these extensively.
