Borderland: Israel in the Time of Jesus

by Tim Chaffey, Travis Wilson

Bridge the Gap Between the Old and New Testaments

This very detailed and extremely fascinating book, based on the exhibit, unpacks the world that Jesus was born into, bridges the gap between the Old and New Testaments and provides helpful context for the people and events of Jesus’ lifetime.

Borderland: Israel in the Time of Jesus is a fascinating read on its own or a wonderful supplement to your New Testament reading. You could even use it as a homeschooling resource (like a textbook) to help students understand what happened from the end of the Old Testament to the start of the New Testament, setting the scene for the time of Christ.

This book was so much fun to read. Not only is it filled with valuable information on the Jewish culture during the time of Jesus, but it has beautiful art work on every page which allows you to actually see what things looked like. This really allows you to better understand the culture in which the Bible was written.

What a fantastic book on the history between the Old and New Testament. I really had never learned anything about those 400 years and this book really informs and entertains and it’s beautifully done. I love the behind the scenes snippets as well about creating the exhibit. Fascinating stuff, highly recommend!

Some years ago I went on two separate tours of Israel. This was a great refresher in some ways and brought other new topics, I needed to check out. Very helpful.
