Humphrey Prideaux’s “Old and New Testament Connected” is a rare, early 18^th-century history of the time between the Old and New Testaments, or the intertestamental period. Prideaux covers Jewish history pertaining to these eras, the kingdoms of Judah and Israel, Greek and Roman rulers such as Antiochus Epiphanes, Egyptian kings such as Ptolemy Physcon, and the rise and fall of rulers leading to King Herod. This book has helped establish important timelines in biblical history and was one of the earliest works to rely heavily on the Common Era or ‘Vulgar Era’ dating systems.

According to the DNB, this book was

“the long standard English history of the Jewish state.”
