If you’re a Bible student who needs to write a Biblical research paper, you will need to use some good reference tools. To find out about the historical period you are researching, you may want to consult a Bible encyclopedia.
You can use a physical encyclopedia, a software version, or an online one. Read about the people and customs of the day. Look at pictures of people’s clothing as well as objects they used in their everyday lives. Consult maps to get a feel for where they were located.
Take the time to research the background thoroughly so that your paper will be complete and accurate.
