Noted expert in biblical history Tim Dowley traces Old Testament history
from the time of the patriarchs through the Israelites' return from Babylonian
exile. He then presents a brief look at world and Jewish national events that
occurred between the Old and New Testaments, setting the stage for Jesus'
coming. His treatment of the New Testament era includes an overview of Judaism,
various political climates, and the ministry of Jesus from His birth to His
ascension. Also included are the earliest days of the church—its birth and
spread under the ministry of the apostles.
