- Used Book in Good Condition
You've studied the Old Testament. You've studied the New Testament. But what do you know about the nearly 500 years between those sacred books? Now, in Between the Testaments: From Malachi to Matthew, Latter-day Saint scholars S. Kent Brown and Richard Neitzel Holzapel illuminate the little-understood era. They write, "This book attempts to connect the Old and New Testaments by opening a window onto events that unfold from the time that members of the covenant people returned from the Babylonian exile, not long before the end of the Old Testament age, to the period when Jews lived under Roman dominion at the beginning of the first century A.D." The authors discuss * the Dead Sea Scrolls * apocrypha and pseudepigrapha * the return of the Jewish exiles * the Hellenization of the ancient world * Essenes and Zealots * feasts and festivals * the hope for a Messiah * and much more that will help you understand the full sweep of the history of the house of Israel. They also include numerous maps and a helpful timeline of this pivotal period.
