In this comprehensive little book, Andrew Cort
brings to life the history and legends of the twelve
hundred years between the conquering of the
Promised Land and the birth of Jesus.

It includes the stories of Saul, David, and Solomon,
the building of the Temple and the origin of the
Freemason legend, the fate of the Ten Lost Tribes,
the miracles of Elijah, the Babylonian Exile, Queen
Esther and the Purim Festival, the influence of
Aristotle and Epicurus, Judah Maccabee and the
story of Chanukah, the building of the second
Temple, the canonization of the Hebrew Bible,
Caesar and Cleopatra, the Roman oppression, the
origins of the Pharisees, Sadducees,
and Essenes, plus much, much more.

"What make Cort's concise volume so delightful is that the stories
read almost as compellingly as fiction. Most of us have read these
Bible stories more than once and are very familiar with them --
particularly such beloved and inspiring classics as the youthful David's
heroic victory over Goliath and King Solomon's building of the Temple
in Jerusalem. Cort's version of these stories is unique in that he offers
astonishing insights into these great leaders as he sets them against a
backdrop of whatever was taking place elsewhere in the world at that
time--Hellenic Greece and Ancient Rome, primarily. This technique of
storytelling provides far deeper understanding of the psychology of
these larger-than-life leaders than any version of the Bible or book on
ancient history that I have read thus far"

                                                               -- Roberta Edgar

"From Joshua to Jesus is an absorbing account of events and ideas
preceding the birth of Jesus."     
                                                   
                                                                                                                                    -- Mary Lou Cheatham

"Dr. Cort writes with wit and grace."    
                                                               -- Michael Ellner

"I recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in ancient
history as well as in the bible."
                                                              -- Jacqueline Carr
