The Background of the Gospels or Judaism in the Period Between the Old and New Testaments by William Fairweather is a comprehensive study of the historical and cultural context of the Gospels. The book explores the period between the Old and New Testaments, also known as the intertestamental period or Second Temple Judaism. The author examines the religious, social, and political developments that took place during this period and their impact on the Jewish people. He discusses the rise of Hellenism, the influence of Greek culture on Judaism, and the emergence of various Jewish sects such as the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes. Fairweather also explores the role of the Jewish Scriptures and their interpretation during this period, including the development of the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible. He analyzes the religious beliefs and practices of the Jewish people, including their views on the afterlife, the Messiah, and the role of the Temple in Jewish worship. The book provides valuable insights into the cultural and historical context of the Gospels, helping readers to better understand the religious and social milieu in which Jesus and his disciples lived and preached. It is an essential resource for scholars and students of biblical studies, theology, and ancient history.The Twentieth Series Of The Cunningham Lectures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
