The course provides a clearly organized approach on this subject. Although I am familiar with some of this material, the course structure enables a foundation to continue learning this important time period in biblical history. Having gone through the course, it has answered many of my questions. It places people and events in their proper setting and context. From this point going forward, the benefit of the course will support and grow a deeper understanding of the Bible in general and the New Testament specifically.

great job of showing the importance of the period and the sources outside the Bible and how they help to create context.
