Description
Book Introduction
The language of restoration presented by a researcher of 500 years of intertestamental history! Sejong University's 15-week lecture series, the definitive edition of Logos, Pathos, and Ethos! The YouTube channel's intermediate lecture surpasses 1 million views! The author, who called the interim period the confirmation of Old Testament prophecy, clearly explains why he did not use the term 'Second Temple Period'. This book is not an academic work! As a researcher with 20 years of experience, I sought to connect the historical narrative with reality. It was an effort to understand the New Testament era, especially in relation to the Maccabean Wars and the Jewish Wars, and to communicate with those who lived in that era. Their questions are still valid at this very moment. It is amazing that we have the same Bible and the same faith as the saints of the early church two thousand years ago. This means that faith has historicity. What was the secret behind the early church's experience of "restoration" and its ability to establish a significant presence in history beyond the Roman Empire? The author emphasizes that by returning to the image of the early church, which lived sublimely and presented an exceptional standard of living during the Roman era, the church can remain a beacon of hope today. The author asks whether, if we remain confined to the text without considering the intersection between the Bible and the times and applying it, we will ultimately perish. Even when encountering the same text and the same words, we must remember that words like gospel, church, and hope are expressions that emerged from the historical context of that time. It is important to note that Judaism continued its existence by transforming into Rabbinic Judaism centered around the Pharisees. Unlike the Sadducees, they did not take it literally, but constantly struggled to apply it to reality. |

Into the book
Since this book is not a specialized academic work, I will use the term "Intertestamental History" to convey an understanding of the passage of 500 years to those who simply turn the pages of the Bible between Malachi and Matthew as if it were yesterday.
--- p.14
In a time of despair, God spoke through Jeremiah.
What God wants to give us is ‘a future and a hope’ (Jeremiah 29:11).
--- p.28
The Bible records that Belshazzar was killed and the kingdom fell on the very night of the banquet. How could such a powerful kingdom fall overnight? The Nabonidus Chronicle provides a clue.
--- p.44
In the 5th century BC, when Ezra and Nehemiah were active, the framework of the Second Temple was formed, and Judaism was created as the content of the Law established a bond in the lives of the Jews.
--- p.69
During the intertestamental period, fragmented scriptures began to be gathered into a canon.
Again, for the collected Scriptures to be translated into Greek and become a tool to support the worship of the community, a close relationship between the temple and the synagogue had to be established.
What does this process have to do with Christianity?
--- p.93
It would be more accurate to say that Antiochus IV's ban on Judaism was not intended to eradicate the religion, but rather to unify it under Hellenism.
--- p.130
The reason the three sects were able to maintain their own characteristics for 200 years until the New Testament era is the influence of 'education', which is contrasted with the gymnasium and the synagogue.
Through thorough education, the characteristics of the three sects remained the same in the 2nd century BC and the 1st century AD.
--- p.183
The Jewish War took place only 30 years after the time of Jesus.
Josephus clearly states:
Blinded by greed, religious leaders who claim to be God's agents are robbers, leading the people to destruction.
--- p.251
Jesus was killed by corrupt politicians, hypocritical religious people, and betraying disciples.
But this death also answers the central question of the intertestamental period, when God was with His people and was seeking restoration.
God's promise was thus fulfilled.
