Salstrand's eight-chapter account of the providential history and geography that, in the author's framing, prepared the world for the advent of the Savior and the Christian church. Nearly half the book follows the Jews from the Exile through the interbiblical period, while its longest chapter traces the stream of messianic expectancy through the Bible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSalstrand closes by considering the Oriental, Roman, Greek, and Jewish influences that shaped the world into which Jesus came. Scripture quotations are from the Revised Standard Version unless otherwise indicated, and quoted passages identify their authors in parentheses rather than through footnotes; a bibliography appears at the end. The book is dedicated to Dr. Merrill C. Tenney, Dean of the Graduate School at Wheaton College from 1947–71.\u003c\/p\u003ePublication Details\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeorge A. E.
