<br/><br/> The rise of Greece  The rule of the Ptolemies over Palestine (301-198 BC) -- The rule of the Seleucids (198-ca. 167 BC) -- The Maccabean revolt (167-142 BC) -- The Hasmonean period (142-63 BC) -- Judea and the early Roman domination (63-4 BC) -- The New Testament era (4 BC-AD 66) -- The end of the Hebrew state (AD 66-135). 
<br/><br/> The interbiblical period has been the focus of intensive scholarly study for many years, yet the fruits of this work often remain inaccessible to the theological student and minister. Robert L. Cate rectifies this situation, gathering and communicating the results of research in clear, readable prose. Cate argues persuasively that an understanding of the interbiblical period is crucial to those who are concerned with the development of Judaism, the life and ministry of Jesus, the historical setting for the New Testament's development, and the emergence of the church. He then introduces the reader to the people, geography, politics, religions, philosophies, and lifestyles that combine to make up the history of the Bible lands in the interbiblical period.
