*** This Premium Edition includes An Easy to Read Layout making reading comfortable *** "In my book on The Temple, its Ministry and Services, I endeavoured to carry the reader with me into the Sanctuary, and to make him witness all connected with its institutions, its priesthood, and its solemnities. In this book I have sought to take him into ordinary civil society, and to make him mingle with the men and women of that period, see them in their homes and families, learn their habits and manners, and follow them in their ordinary life-all, as illustrative of New Testament history; at the same time endeavouring to present in a popular form the scenes witnessed." 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.
