Another group within the Jewish nation around at the time of Jesus were the Essenes. They weren't explicitly mentioned in the New Covenant, but they have proven to be a very important group of people. We'll learn about them today on Foundations. 

'Foundations' is about filling in the gaps with the information most people miss or are unaware of. The truth is that over time words, definitions and culture changes in dramatic ways and applying present day understanding and meanings to words, phrases and events, can lead to very different conclusions. By learning about the Jewish and Hebrew culture that the Bible was set in and the environment, traditions and understandings of the people whom God chose to write down His Word, we can gain a bigger, deeper and richer understanding of God's Word that we love so much.
