Excellent overall survey of Intertestament Period,
By
This review is from: The Four Centuries Between the Testaments: A Survey of Israel and the Diaspora from 336 BC to 94 AD (Paperback)
In contrast to the reviewer who writes "for Christians only," I find this book to be an excellent survey. Many facts in this book are more easily picked out than they would be in a larger, more comprehensive account. Dr. Balla has a great way of presenting the facts of this interesting period in a very simple, easy to understand fashion.
Certainly, one who is really interested in this time period, as I am, should also read other excellent, but more comprehensive, works such as Charles Pfeiffer and D.S. Russell. But George Balla's book is an excellent place to start, and lay the framework. If his book is read first, the more fuller accounts will be easier to read and understand. According to Century One Bookstore, this book is out of print. How unfortunate. So one should get this book quickly if it should be available. Again, very helpful in understanding the Intertestament Period. Very strongly recommended.
