In this enduring classic, Alfred Edersheim explores the broad sweep of Old Testament history. He brings to his work his immense learning and familiarity with Judaism, as well as his love for Scripture and his desire for every Christian to know and understand the story of God's redemptive work in history.

Jerusalem's temple represented not only the glory of Israel's past but the splendor of its future, when the Messiah would come and reign over God's people. Edersheim captures the essence of the temple's significance, both in the life of Israel and in the life and theology of the early Christians. You'll be certain you can actually see the grandeur of Herod's temple---the place that Jesus ''cleansed,'' or that you can feel the anguish of a sacred place of worship trodden by Roman soldiers. This newly typeset, easy-to-read edition captivatingly portrays Edersheim's knowledge and passion for the temple of Scripture. 332 pages, paper from Hendrickson.

Why should readers in the twenty-first century concern themselves with preaching from the first century? Are there not many more pressing topics to concern them than a long address given by a Jewish Christian to the leaders of his nation in Jerusalem? Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones was convinced that time spent in the early chapters of Acts, ‘to discover how the church started and what her message was at the beginning’, was well spent. He shows that we cannot understand the gospel, or even our own history, without understanding the events narrated in Acts 7. There would be no gospel if ‘the God of glory’ had not ‘appeared to Abraham’.
