In Bridging the Testaments, George Athas enriches our understanding of the New Testament by offering a robust and riveting overview of the oft-neglected centuries between the final words of the Old Testament and the first of the New. This book surveys the historical and theological developments of four significant eras in Israel’s postexilic history (Late Persian, Hellenistic, Hasmonean, and Roman). Splendidly balancing depth of analysis with breadth of coverage, Athas provides an integrative account of these dramatic centuries that will serve serious students of Scripture for years to come.
