Perfectly Quiet: The Intertestamental Period Part 6 - Anchored by Truth - Aug. 10, 2021 by Wave 94 published on 2021-08-11T20:02:10Z The intertestamental period may be the period of Biblical history that receives the least attention today. The biggest reason it doesn’t is because no books were being added to the canon of scripture during that time – between the testaments. And even for those who accept the Apocrypha as canonical there was still a gap during which no new material was being added to scripture. Because we normally focus our time on scripture itself we tend not to think very much about what happened outside of scripture, especially since we’re talking about events that all occurred over 2,000 years ago.
