Talk:Intertestamental period

message: It barely stays focused on its topic, and the info one can find on the Apocrypha or Deuterocanonical pages is much more complete.  75.70.99.101 (talk) 17:23, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Complaints about this article have existed for years, as well as regular support for deletion. It's badly written, poorly sourced, inaccurate, etc I don't think it's salvagable, because it's so bad, so support deletion at time certain, say December 31st.

thread_title:  This Article is So Bad it Should be Deleted 

message: One problem with this article is that it has as its premise the notion that no books of the Bible were written during this time. In point of fact, those books that were written during this time were only removed from the Bible by Protestants well after the Reformation; the King James Version of 1611 had them up until sometime in the 1700s. So whether there was a long 'intertestamental period' depends on whether one accepts the deuterocanonical books. I'm surprised that this didn't seem to come up during the original debate over its deletion.
Related to this, some believe that the entire Bible was divinely inspired, some that only the Old Testament was inspired, some that most of the Bible (except the "Apocrypha") was inspired, and many believe that none of it was inspired. Some of the remarks regarding inspiration ought to reflect this diversity of beliefs. Wesley 17:17, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is based on the Protestant view that the Intertestamental period was a time of prophetic silence; therefore, the only way to amend the point of view of the article would be to delete it.  As to your statement that the Apocryphal books were removed after the Reformation, I think you might find it interesting to note that they were not accepted into the Jewish Scriptures, nor would they have been accepted into the Christian canon had the Council of Cathage in 397 not insisted that Jerome include them into the Latin Vulgate.  While I don't think your argument has much merit, I do agree that this article is severely lacking and that someone should edit it to reflect the fact that this is only one view of that period of 400 years.

text: Wesley, if Protestants use the term "Intertestamental" and Protestants don't have any Biblical books written within that period of time, I see no reason to argue against the term. However if you have some scholarly source that argues against the use of this term, I see no problem in citing it as a side note to the article. Krosstown86 (talk) 20:47, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
