Between the Testaments

by Jack P. Lewis

this book describes the events that took place during the 400 year period of scriptural silence between the end of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New Testament. Through the wealth of historical and apocryphal writings of that time, we are given insights into the life and times of the first-century church. Without these inter-testamental writings, we might still be trying to answer questions that a study of the New Testament would naturally present.

I picked up a few notes but this book was hard to read. It read more like a college paper than a book and was at times just a disorganized collection of facts.
