From The Exile To The Advent (1895)

By William Fairweather

Book Overview

From The Exile To The Advent is a book written by William Fairweather and first published in 1895. The book is a historical and theological study of the period between the Babylonian exile of the Jews in the 6th century BC and the coming of Jesus Christ. The author examines the religious and political developments that took place during this time, including the emergence of Jewish sects such as the Pharisees and the Sadducees, the influence of Greek culture on Jewish thought, and the rise of messianic expectations among the Jewish people. Fairweather also explores the prophetic literature of the Old Testament, particularly the writings of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, and shows how their messages of hope and restoration were fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ. The book is written in a scholarly style and is intended for readers with a strong interest in biblical history and theology. It provides a comprehensive overview of a crucial period in the history of Judaism and Christianity and sheds light on the religious and cultural context in which Jesus lived and taught.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
