It encompasses research into the context, authorship, composition, transmission, and interpretation of these ancient documents, with a particular focus on understanding their significance within specific historical periods and cultural milieus. Biblical history draws from various disciplines including archaeology, linguistics, literary criticism, and theology to shed light on the people, places, and events described in biblical narratives.
