Through the wealth of historical and apocryphal writings of that time, we are given insights into the life and times of the first-century church. Without these inter-testamental writings, we might still be trying to answer questions that a study of the New Testament would naturally present such as:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat was the origin and background of the Pharisees?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat was the origin and background of the Sadducess?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow did non-Jewish Herod become king of the Jews?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow did the synagogue become the center of community religion?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJack P. Lewis has done the research and provided us with well-documented answers to these questions and many more. This book sheds a welcomed light on the faith, politics, and background of the people that Jesus and the apostles encountered as recorded in the New Testament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003eList of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 1: The Late Persian Period\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 2: Alexander the Great and the Diadochi\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 3: The Maccabean Period\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 4: The Roman Period\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 5: Various Groups\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 6: Worship\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 7: The Canon of Scripture\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 8: Writings\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 9: The Messianic Expectation\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eby Jack P.
