<p>The period covered by this text is of supreme importance for the links it provides between the world recorded in the Hebrew scriptures and the very different worlds of Greece and Rome. Russell investigates the history, religion, and literature of the period and reveals the deep influence that Hellenistic culture had, for good and ill, on the life and faith of the Jews. He shows how Hellenism and Judaism alternately clashed and compromised, with momentous results both for Judaism and for the early Christian church.</p>

"Daniel," writes D. S. Russell, "is a fascinatiing book which speaks as profoundly to our day as it did to the day it was first written. Its message declared unequivocally that the sovereign Lord God was in control not only of history but also of the end of history." An exciting demonstration of trust and devotion, Daniel offers a positive message of hope and reassurance for the people of God in every age.Carrying forward brilliantly the pattern established by Barclay's New Testament series, the Daily Study Bible has been extended to cover the entire Old Testament as well. Invaluable for individual devotional study, for group discussion, and for classroom use, the Daily Study Bible provides a useful, reliable, and eminently readable way to discover what the Scriptures were saying then and what God is saying today.

<p>Twenty-five years ago, Dr Russell wrote Between the Testaments. Warmly welcomed by reviewers and readers alike, it soon became established as an individual introduction to the period from Malachi to Matthew, and has since been reprinted nine times. Now it is joined by this second volume, in the same format, examining topics which might have been dealt with in the first volume but were not. Its aim is to complement and supplement what was written there, focussing attention on just a few subjects which continue to be matters of interest and debate. These are: 'Cultural and Religious Developments in the Hellenistic Age', 'Sources and Scriptures', 'Biblical Interpretation in Early Judaism and the New Testament', 'The Development and Meaning of Torah', 'Prayer and Mediation', 'Demonology and the Problem of Evil', 'The Secret Tradition of Jewish Apocalyptic', and 'The Future Hope'.</p>
