Sea of Galilee (pt. 4 of 21)Get Out of the Boat!
In this lesson, we take a detailed look at Mark 5:1-20 - the story of Jesus healing the demon-possessed man from the Decapolis.
The story contains many details which can only be understood by studying the cultural context of the relationship between the religious Jews and the gentile pagans that lived right across the sea. More importantly, we funnel all of these details into a greater understanding of the disciples' actions. As we consider how the disciples reacted to Jesus taking them to the Decapolis, we must ask ourselves how this message applies to us.

This newly published book (2020) would be a great addition to your biblical research library. Not only do you get a copy of the Apocrypha, but they've included several excellent essays to help you understand the culture of the Second-Temple period in Israel.
