The 400 years between Malachi, the last book of the Old Testament to the birth of Christ is often thought to be a period of divine silence. Yet, this is the period of Second Temple Judaism, which is not only significant for the development of Judaism and Jewish identity but also a time when Jewish literature and the Hebrew canon took shape.
This course will provide a broad overview of this historically rich era and how it informs our understanding and interpretation of the Old and New Testaments.
