Daily Life in Late Second Temple Israel – David Fiensy pt 4 (https://kcrpodcast.com/episode-428-far-can-david-fiensy-interview-pt-1/screen-shot-2019-01-07-at-9-49-47-am/) Today, I have the blessing of talking with someone who is an expert when it comes to Biblical antiquities. For over 30 years, David Fiensy has been teaching Biblical studies and participating in numerous archaeological excavations and has a lot to share about ancient Palestine during the Roman occupation era in that area. He has written twelve academia books during the last 30 years. Now “semi-retired,” he has authored his first work of fiction, a novel titled “As Far As You Can.” The setting is in Palestine about AD66 at the outbreak of the war against Rome. We discussed that book in his last interview. You can hear all about that book if you go back into our archives and listen to episodes 428 and 429.What about family life in general? Marriage, spousal responsibilities, etc?ow, today we are blessed to have some of the best medical care that mankind has ever known. We discussed some of the diseases in ancient Israel, in the days of Jesus. Tell us about some of medical care that was available in the days of Jesus? That makes sense when you think about the woman with the issue of blood and how she spent all her living and nothing worked. What was the average life expectancy in that time? From birth: age 20 After age 20: Men 37 Women: 34 Some lived longer, some not so much. If someone did die, what were funerals like? Infant funerals – not so much of a big deal. When I was growing up, I seen estimates that about 70% of Americans were in church on Sunday. And you could see it. Even small churches had their parking lots packed out. Today, I seen on estimate that less than 20% of Americans go to church anymore. What was it like in the days of Jesus as far as religious responsibilities go? If someone “missed” going to the synagogue, was that a major deal? David, when do you think we will be able to get a copy of this book? Will you come back on the program when your book is published and update us? If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? Folks, we are about out of time for today. I want to recommend David Fiensy’s book that we have been discussing to you. It sounds absolutely fascinating. I know it will give you a deeper perspective and appreciation of the scriptures. You will need to add his book, “Archeology of Daily Life in Late Second Temple Israel” to your reading collection. Use it as a reference as you do your Bible Studies. It will add clarity like you probably have never seen or understood before. Common teachings you’ve heard for years will suddenly make a lot more sense. Just click the link below to order your copy today. Before we go, I want to make everyone aware of a new feature that I’ve added to our podcast ministry. For the last several years, I’ve assisted many Christians, both in ministry and out, in advice and ideas on how to either start a podcast or improve an existing podcast. I’ve recently started a program called, “ASK BOB.” It allows you to send me your podcasting questions directly. Anything about podcasting that you want to ask. From “What is a podcast?” to “How do I monetize a podcast?” and anything in between. If I use your question on the “ASK BOB” program, I have a special gift for you. I’m not going to go into detail here because we are all out of time. But go to www.kcrpodcast.com (http://www.kcrpodcast.com/) and click the “Podcast Training” link at the top or just click the “Podcast Training” link in the show notes. That is all the time we have for today. David, I want to thank you one more time for taking the time out of your schedule to come on and visit with us for a few minutes and discuss your new book,

Therefore, they did not have to explain certain terms or settings. Because everyone was living that culture. Take for example, I don’t know, “The Last Supper” and the term “reclining at the table.” That doesn’t mean they had just finished their feast and were lounging around in lawn chairs like we do at picnics today. It refers to the fact they did not traditionally use tables and chairs like we do in the west. Anyway, I love what you’ve done with this book. Let me ask you this, were there any surprises that you found as you were doing your research, that would totally transform what we “think,” or what you thought, ancient Israel was like? Anything that would destroy some type of false teaching going on today as to what the “Biblical writers” were trying to communicate? Where Bible scholars have basically been teaching us wrong traditions? Let’s go over just a few of the Chapters. Give us some little tidbit that will gives us a deeper perspective on some of the more common things that we take for granted. No so much take for granted, but something that maybe we do not understand at all with our western point of view. Tell us about what City Life was like in the days of Jesus.

David is writing another book, titled, “Archaeology of Daily Life in Late Second Temple Israel.” I’m looking forward to hearing all about this book. I believe it will help put some Biblical stories into context for us as we study our Bible. Now, help me welcome to the program, David Fiensy! David, thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to visit with us today! David, just in case someone did not hear your first interview, let me start with the first question I always start off. Tell us, in your own words, “Who is David Fiensy?” This new book is not a work of fiction like your book, “As Far As You Can.” Correct? Your expertise is in Ancient Israel archeology. Tell us again, how you became interested in that field of work and especially in Israel? How many times have participated in digs in Israel? Isn’t it difficult, because of the influence of Islam and areas controlled by the Muslims, to get permission to dig in Israel? I might add that there are some Jewish elements that do not want people digging around either, correct? How is this book different from other books that discuss the same topic, “Daily Life” in Biblical times? If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? Folks, we are about out of time for today. I want to recommend David Fiensy’s book that we have been discussing to you. It sounds absolutely fascinating. I know it will give you a deeper perspective and appreciation of the scriptures. You will need to add his book, “Archeology of Daily Life in Late Second Temple Israel” to your reading collection.
