This informative volume highlights the "four hundred silent years," the intertestamental period, about which the Bible gives no information. Here is a popularly written account of this period, an overview that explains the forces that shaped the world in the centuries immediately preceding the birth of Christ. Both the Persian and Hellenistic eras are covered in broad but informative strokes, and special attention is given to the status and problems of Jews during these periods. After reading this work, Bible students will have gained a deepened understanding of the world towhich Christ came "in the fullness of time."
The emphasis of Hebrews was born out of the concern of the
writer for those who had been true to Christ in the past but who
were now wavering. Signs of defection from the faith brought both a
warning against apostasy and a fervent exhortation to press onward
to spiritual maturity. The epistle argues that the death of Christ
renders obsolete the Old Testament sacrificial system and
presupposes thorough familiarity with that system by those to whom
the epistle is addressed. This strong appeal to the Old Testament
Scriptures opens up new avenues of thought for appreciation for the
unity of the two Testaments.
