Description
*** This Premium Edition includes An Easy to Read Layout making reading comfortable *** It has been my wish in this book, to take the reader back nineteen centuries; to show him Jerusalem as it was, when our Lord passed through its streets, and the Sanctuary, when He taught in its porches and courts; to portray, not only the appearance and structure of the Temple, but to describe its ordinances and worshippers, the ministry of its priesthood, and the ritual of its services. In so doing, I show more have hoped, not only to illustrate a subject, in itself most interesting to the Bible-student, but also, and chiefly, to sketch, in one important aspect, the religious life of the period in which our blessed Lord lived upon earth, the circumstances under which He taught, and the religious rites by which He was surrounded; and whose meaning, in their truest sense, He came to fulfil. The Temple and its services form, so to speak, part of the life and work of Jesus Christ; part also of His teaching, and of that of His apostles. Alfred Edersheim (7 March 1825 - 16 March 1889) was a Biblical scholar known especially for his book The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah. show lessTags

Absolutely terrible. I made it to page 8 before I quit: a new record low for me. I gave up after the the author, a Jewish convert to Christianity, said with what I assume was a straight face that first-century CE Jerusalem outdid even Rome in architectural splendor. No it didn’t. It just didn’t. My expectations were further dashed in that Edersheim leaned into his convert’s zeal rather than embracing both his Jewish past and his Christian present for what would surely have been an interesting dual perspective on the significance of the Temple. The first few pages were positively littered with hagiographical pretentiousness and saccharine prose. I didn’t even think it was possible to be hagiographic about a building. So, I rate show more it a half-star introducing me to this novelty, and another half-star for, I don’t know, effort I guess. show less
