The '''intertestamental period''' is the [[Protestant]] term and '''deuterocanonical period''' is the [[Catholic]] and [[Orthodox Christian]] term for the gap of time between the period covered by the [[Hebrew Bible]] and the period covered by the Christian [[New Testament]]. Traditionally, it is considered to cover roughly four hundred years, spanning the ministry of [[Malachi]] (c. 420 BC) to the appearance of [[John the Baptist]] in the early [[Christianity in the 1st century|1st century AD]], almost the same period as the [[Second Temple period]] (530 BC to 70 AD).

It is known by members of the Protestant community as the "400 Silent Years" because it is believed to have been a span where [[God]] revealed nothing new to his people.

It is said that many of the [[Deuterocanonical|Deuterocanonical or Anagignoskomena books]], accepted as scripture by [[Roman Catholicism]] and [[Eastern Orthodoxy]] respectively, were written during this time. This is also the time when many [[pseudepigraphal]] works were produced. An understanding of the events of the intertestamental period provides context for the New Testament.

==Significant events==
* Establishment of the [[synagogue]]
* [[Greek language|Greek]] and [[Aramaic]] become the common languages of the Jewish people
