It is disputable whether the period was really as much as 400 years, since the Book of Daniel is believed to have been written during the second century BCE. However, this period is called the intertestamental period.

Several of the deuterocanonical books, accepted as scripture by the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches, were also written during this period.
