About Us

Our Mission

Ancient Context is dedicated to providing clean, non-sectarian historical reference material for ancient texts, geography, and culture. We believe that understanding the historical and geographical backdrop is essential for grasping the significance of ancient literature.

Our project is intentionally bilingual (English and Ukrainian), created to serve both global English readers and Ukrainian-speaking students, pastors, and researchers seeking trustworthy historical and biblical context in their mother tongue.

Our Sources & Editorial Standards

Our database is built upon foundational public domain works of biblical scholarship, specifically:

• The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (1915)
• Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)

To ensure high utility for modern readers, original entries have been editorially modernized, structured into concise study cards, checked for academic truthfulness, and paired with our 2-year Inductive Bible Study curriculum.

For complete details on our source provenance, Ukrainian translation standards (following Ivan Ogienko), and AI-assisted human editorial pipeline, please read our dedicated Editorial Methodology & Sources page.

Open Data & Free Access

Ancient Context is committed to open educational access. All original project contributions, structured data schemas, and editorial updates are made available under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0) for free educational study and reuse.
