Can you imagine learning the history of America, but leaving out 400 years of it? You might begin with Native American civilization. But then, beginning with 1619, jump four-hundred years to America in 2019. A large and very important gap of history would be missing! Yet, all too often that is how we study the Bible and learn biblical history. The Old Testament story comes to a close some 400 years before the time of Christ. It comes to a close with the land of Judah being a province in the Persian Empire. But then, when we open the New Testament, we hear about very different historical, cultural, and even religious circumstances from what we left off with in the Old Testament. A lot of things happened in that 400-year period, things that affect how we read and understand the life and ministry of Christ and the early church. Our Sunday School series is: “The Time Between the Testaments”. Taught by Pastor Walter Taylor. In this class we will examine what happened in the land of Judah and in the ancient world from the end of the Old Testament to the beginning of the New. We will look at the religious, political, and cultural changes that occurred. We’ll see how all of this affected the religious outlook of the people of Judah/Judea, and how all of this worked to prepare the way for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
