Between the Testaments: From Malachi to Matthew

Description

You've studied the Old Testament. You've studied the New Testament. But what do you know about the five hundred years between these sacred books? In Between the Testaments: From Malachi to Matthew, Latter-day Saint scholars S. Kent Brown and Richard Neitzel Holzapfel illuminate this little-understood era. The authors discuss such fascinating topics as: The Dead Sea Scrolls Apocrypha and pseudepigrapha The Hellenization of the ancient world Scribes, Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, and Zealots Feasts and festivals The hope for a Messiah Plus much more to help you understand the full sweep of the history of the house of Israel. The authors note, "We hope that Between the Testaments will help readers make the Old and New Testaments into one continuous story—from Genesis to Revelation—instead of two stories separated by deep chasms of history, culture, and doctrine."
