Publisher's Synopsis
""Four Centuries of Silence: Or From Malachi to Christ"" is a historical and religious book written by Robert Ainslie Redford in 1885. The book covers the period of four centuries between the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, which is known as the intertestamental period or the period of silence. The author explores the political, social, and religious developments of this era, including the rise and fall of the Persian, Greek, and Roman empires. Redford also examines the religious movements and sects that emerged during this time, such as the Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, and Zealots. The book sheds light on the cultural and religious context in which Jesus Christ was born and how his teachings and life were influenced by the events of the intertestamental period.
