Jerusalem, the temple, priests,
and worshippers all come alive
through Edersheim's pictorial
prose as well as through more than 75 illustrations,
charts, photos, and drawings.
Edersheim's deep devotion to the
authority of the Scriptures, his
ability to make the Scriptures
come alive in their ancient
context, and his encyclopedic
familiarity with ancient Jewish
sources all enrich this classic
and timeless work.
Citations from Scripture,
rabbinic sources, and the works
of Philo and Josephus enhance
the reader's understanding of
the temple, its sacrifices,
ministry, personnel, and
services. Edersheim clarifies
difficult passages, and unfolds
the true meaning of the temple
and its services in typifying
and foreshadowing God's work of
redemption in Christ. This
edition brings a wealth of
information together in the
margins, giving the reader
access to primary source
materials of the ancient world.
Newly typeset in an
easy-to-read, modern typeface,
this edition makes it easier and
more enjoyable than ever before
to read, study, and consult this
classic work.
