Bøger af George Athas

In Bridging the Testaments, George Athas surveys the history of Israel during the post-exilic era (539-4 BC), providing the framework for understanding the place of Israel and Judah as God's covenant people in history, and the theological developments that occurred at the end of the Old Testament period, leading into the New Testament.

Athas challenges the past assumptions by Book of Daniel scholars, especially with regard to the symbolism in Chapter 9. This exegesis provides a theory for chronological interpretation that includes dates for calculating the seventy weeks mentioned in Daniel's vision.

This combination handbook and reader helps those who have studied Biblical Aramaic to read the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament with understanding and confidence, and to maintain their ability to do so over the long term.
