Summary: Great introductory text...
Review: This little book is a good place to start to get a grasp on what was happening during those mythical 400 years of 'silence' between the Tanakh and the writings that later became the New Testament. While Mr. Russell is undoubtedly writing from a Christian perspective, he writes quite simply and eloquently about a highly complex subject.

This is a great place to start. He synthesizes the information well and shows the reader the larger picture. For more technical information, there are a host of other books out there. This is a good place to start before journeying down that road.
