<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Through figures, tables, photos, and maps, we tell the history of the inter-testament, woven among tales of kings, tyrants, and peasants. The complex series of events, which led to the opening pages of the New Testament, were orchestrated one-by-one as the people of the inter-testament did their part, good or bad, to contribute to their society.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The time between the historical end of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New Testament was approximately 420 years. Bible-study classes rarely cover this "forgotten" time, yet understanding this history is critical to our comprehension and appreciation of the New Testament. Furthermore, it was the inter-testament period that gave birth to who we are today--our politics, laws, science, mathematics, institutions, and even the values and philosophies we hold dear. Western civilization undoubtedly would be different today if not for the Jews, Greeks, and Romans and their contributions to society.</p><p>What happened "between the testaments," before the birth of Jesus, and what is the back-story of his world? Who was Herod the Great, and what influence did he have during this time? What events gave birth to the sects of the Pharisees and Sadducees? Which empires and rulers controlled Judea during this period? Answers to these questions and more are in The Bridge to the New Testament.
