These charts describe the period between the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, based on Chapter 1 of my book The Bridge to the New Testament: A Comprehensive Guide to the Forgotten Years of the Inter-Testament Period . They complement the first three lessons from a class I taught for the Nashville School of Preaching from June 29 to July 16, 2026, entitled "Revealing the New Testament through the History, Politics, and Customs of the Inter-Testament Period."
