Between the Testaments: From Malachi to Matthew

Brown and Holzapfel have done a valuable service to the LDS audience by pulling together information from a wide variety of sources and adding their own insights and perspective to a topic seldom discussed in the Church, though important to our understanding of the Bible. I especially appreciate their scene-setting vignettes at the beginning of each chapter and the great further reading lists at the end. There are no pictures or charts, surprising for a Holzapfel book and which would have been welcome, such as with the Dead Sea Scrolls or Feasts and Festivals chapters. But the maps are useful and the text is very well-written and a pleasure to read. Thanks to these two fine scholars for a great piece of work.
