About This Book
A concise, classroom-oriented narrative that traces the transition from Hebrew scripture to the Christian era by surveying Jewish life under Persian and Hellenistic rule, the emergence and decline of local dynasties, and the religious landscape preceding the Gospel. It then recounts the life, teachings, miracles, passion, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus and follows the early church’s development in Jerusalem and the wider Mediterranean. The final section outlines the missionary journeys, disputes, councils, and imprisonments associated with the apostles, and the work is supplemented by maps, chronological tables, and explanatory notes for study.
