What happened during the 400 “silent years” between the Old and New Testaments, and why does that history matter for understanding Jesus, the Kingdom of God, and the Bible? In this episode of Kingdom Conversations, Dr. Dana Carson, Michelle Carson, and Dana Carson II explore the Intertestamental Period, Second Temple Judaism, the Apocrypha, Hellenization, the Maccabean Revolt, and the religious and political movements that shaped the world Jesus entered. Discover where the Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, Zealots, Herodians, and Samaritans came from, how Greek and Roman influence transformed Jewish culture, and why understanding this historical context changes the way we read the New Testament. The conversation also tackles important questions surrounding the Apocrypha, the Ethiopian Bible, biblical canon, the 66 books of Scripture, African Christianity, antisemitism, and the difference between writings that are historically valuable and Scripture considered divinely inspired. Most importantly, this episode reveals a crucial principle for serious Bible study: when you misunderstand context, you can easily misinterpret content. If you want to understand the Bible beyond surface-level reading, explore the historical world of Jesus, and develop a deeper understanding of the Kingdom of God, this Kingdom Conversation is for you. Topics include: Intertestamental Period, 400 Silent Years, Apocrypha, Second Temple Judaism, biblical canon, Ethiopian Bible, Hellenization, Alexander the Great, Maccabean Revolt, Pharisees and Sadducees, Jewish history, early Christianity, Kingdom of God, biblical context, Bible study, Old Testament, New Testament, and Christian theology.
