ISBN: 9780830827305.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurning the page from Malachi to Matthew, we skip a lot of history.\nIn fact, it is something like missing several key episodes in an ongoing television saga. The setting and main plot line are familiar, but new characters have appeared andmore recent events and developments are assumed.\nDid anyone record the episodes we missed?\nFortunately a few did. Their reception wasnt always good, and there are annoying cuts and splices. But Anthony J. Tomasino has put together the missing episodes and skillfully retells the story of Judaism before Jesus, from the time of Ezra and Nehemiah to the Herods, and even up to Masada.\nThe result is an entertaining, informative and enlightening retelling of the story of Judaism and the development of the ideas, subplots and characters that shaped the world of Jesus and the first Christians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"IVP Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45254279004213,"sku":"ByrdShop_0830827307","price":28.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780830827305_18e0e9e3-4c2e-4d6a-98c2-0904633f3637.jpg?v=1779956773","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/judaism-before-jesus-the-events-ideas-that-shaped-the-new-testament-world-9780830827305","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
