Popular Author Provides the Market's Most Accessible Introduction to the World of Jesus' TimeTo understand Jesus' life and ministry, we need to understand the history and culture of his world. Marty, author of the popular The Whole Bible Story, provides readers with a thoroughly readable, easy-to-understand history of Israel leading up to the time of Christ. Each chapter ties closely to the events of the New Testament as Marty carefully answers such questions as•Who were the Pharisees and why was Jesus upset with them? •Why didn't anyone like the Samaritans? •When and why did the Jews start worshiping in "synagogues" rather than the Temple? The book will include call-out boxes, summaries, and other tools to make this the most accessible book available on the topic.

[Note: This book was received for free from Bethany Books in exchange for an honest review.]For a reader who is unfamiliar with vastly better works on the historical, religious, social, and cultural background of the early New Testament, this book may be appealing. Though this author is no Bruce, Edersheim, or Jeffers, all of whom have written excellent works on the Greco-Roman world as well as the influences of that world on second temple Jewish and Christian thought and practice, those who wish to read a watered-down tabloid history of the intertestimental period and who want a quick read without scholarly footnotes or a thoughtful examination of primary and secondary source material may find this book appealing. Far be it from me to condemn anyone who wishes light and superficial reading, even about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. For those who might expect more than light and superficial reading, though, I feel I must provide some sort of review of the materials of this book.Dr. Marty professes in this book to be writing a historical work of the intertestimental period, that is, the time between Malachi and Matthew, a stretch of time of about 435 years where there were no God-breathed works written, no widespread prophetic revelation, though there were a lot of Jewish works written that are of some interest today (and only a couple of which, 1st and 2nd Maccabees, which the author explores in any detail as source material quarried for this work). The book is divided into eight chapters, with an introduction and conclusion, and the balance of the work reflects the author's concerns.
