Housing and Architecture in Daily Life in Biblical Times

In biblical times, housing and architecture were deeply shaped by the geography, climate, and cultural practices of the ancient Near East. From the humble dwellings of Galilean villagers to the more elaborate homes in Jerusalem, these structures reflected the rhythms of daily life and offered a glimpse into the world in which many biblical events unfolded. Understanding the built environment of the time helps modern readers better grasp the context in which Jesus and the people of Scripture lived, taught, and worshiped.
