This book offers a lot to learn about the period between the Old and New Testaments. Although there is a 400-year gap between them, I recommend reading about this period if you want to understand the New Testament properly. ๐
This book makes the once-vague intertestamental period easy to understand while also prompting deep reflection.
The Bible is Christianity's scripture, but it also serves in part as a historical record, which makes it fascinating. There is a considerable gap between the Old and New Testaments: the Old Testament ends at a particular point, and the New Testament's authors had no personal connection to its writers (setting aside the religious belief that both were inspired by the Holy Spirit). A gap in the intervening era was inevitable. The so-called Apocrypha means the period is not entirely undocumented
A helpful book that makes the 500 years of little-known history between Malachi in the Old Testament and Matthew in the New Testament easy to understand.
A must-read for understanding the Bible more deeply.
I preordered it, and I'm really looking forward to it. The content seems very substantial, and I expect to gain amazing knowledge and wisdom.
Park Yang-gyu: Midterm class
The author calls the intertestamental period a time for seeing Old Testament prophecies confirmed and clearly explains why he avoids the term โSecond Temple periodโ: this is not an academic book. Drawing on 20 years as a researcher, the author connects history as it has been reconstructed with the present. In particular, the book seeks to understand the New Testament era through the relationship between the Maccabean and Jewish wars and to connect with the unnamed people who lived then. Their questions still matter today. It is striking that we share the same Bible and faith as the early Christians of 2,000 years ago; faith has a history. What enabled those early Christians, who experienced โrestoration,โ to make their presence felt throughout history beyond the Roman Empire? The author argues that the church can remain a source of hope today by returning to the early church, whose members lived nobly by setting an exceptional standard in Roman times. The author asks whether the church will eventually disappear if it remains trapped in the literal text without working to find and apply points of connection between Scripture and its era. Even when reading the same passages and words, we should remember that terms such as gospel, church, and hope arose from the historical context of that time. We should also recognize how Judaism continued through its transition to rabbinic Judaism centered on the Pharisees. Unlike the Sadducees, they did not take the text literally; they continually wrestled with how to apply it to real life.
