Preserving Bible Times, Inc. (PBT) is a faith-based educational organization with a vision for preserving and presenting Biblical Truth and meaning through integrating the Biblical text with its visual, geographical, literary, historical and cultural context. PBT’s approach is to creatively assemble a “tool box” of Bible Times related images, resources and contextual elements that will allow the Scriptures to increasingly come alive for 21st Century readers as they did for 1st Century hearers. This integrated contextual approach to engaging the Scriptures is shared in our growing portfolio of Bible-in-Context resources, e.g. digital resources, publications, and maps featured in different sections of this website. https://preservingbibletimes.org Welcome to the Preserving Bible Times (PBT) website where context always matters! At PBT our purpose is to preserve and present biblical truth. Our central thesis is that we should never ask what a passage means to us today until we first know what those words and phrases meant to those we meet in the Bible. Our emphasis is restoring the historical, cultural, literary, visual and geographic context of a passage so we can understand it as a Middle Eastern villager would have first understood it. That gets us closer to the original meaning of a passage and therefore closer to the Spirit’s intended transformation. We invite you to take some time to explore and sample the various devotional/teaching/Bible study resources we have assembled on this site to help God’s Kingdom feed more robustly on His Word. If you have questions about our church-hosted “Bible Alive,” “Making Disciples Jesus’ Way,” “The Bible and the Land,” and “The Last Days of Jesus: The Greatest Story Never Told” seminars and conferences, our “Bible Alive” Intensives Columbia, MD, as well as our portfolio of Bible-in-Context teaching resources, just let us know. Shalom, The PBT Team
