Part 2: No Such Thing as 400 Years of Silence

Episode Summary

This is Part 2 with the Rev. Dr. George Athas from Moore College joins us to talk about his book Bridging the Testaments.

Episode Notes

In today's episode with the Rev. Dr. George Athas, we pick up the historic overview of what is incorrectly called the 400 years of silence. We dive into the significant historical influence of Greek culture and thought on Jewish society, especially during the Hellenistic period. In the Hasmonean period, we find the rise of anti-Dividic position of silencing the prophetic voice. What does that mean for the way we understand who Jesus is?
