I am grateful to JP for making this 2002 series available. The intertestamental period has always been something of a black hole for me, but thanks to Dr. Notley’s clear and engaging lectures, I now have a much better appreciation of the historical backdrop—the “prequel,” so to speak—to the Gospels.
I particularly enjoyed Notley’s personal stories about David Flusser and Shmuel Safrai. What a great loss that these remarkable scholars are no longer with us. I think I may even have spotted a gezerah shavah in Notley’s retelling of the Good Samaritan parable. What a delight to hear a familiar story again, but illuminated in such a fresh way.
I highly recommend this series to anyone who wants to better understand the world in which Jesus lived—and, importantly, how that world shaped and informed his teachings.
