Description
"The Life and Times of Jesus The Messiah" is a Life of Christ documentation within a first century setting that includes highly detailed commentary across the full spectrum of the Gospels. The original work, comprised of five volumes, was written by Alfred Edersheim and was first published in or about 1883. This vast work builds on a foundation of historical, sociological, philosophical and theological references, and has as one of its primary aims to set the Gospels of the New Testament in chronological order. As each of the Gospels has its unique presentation of the story of Christ, Edersheim's chronological presentation and commentary reveals important threads and story lines that are not immediately obvious with their reading in the usual order. This abridgment follows Edersheim's chronological set out, retains the high points of his commentary and includes the passages of the Gospels immediately below his commentary for easy reference. Also included in this abridgment are rudimentary maps tracing the movements of Christ as well as pictures from Galilee, Nazareth and Jerusalem, some photos being well over 100 years old, preserving images of important New Testament sites in a setting far more like the time of Christ then can be seen in modern developed Israel. Edersheim's original work is reduced by about 90% in this abridgment providing a chronological framework for reading the four Gospels side by side and simultaneously, within the highpoints of his commentary. It is an excellent experience for beginning bible readers, a good introduction to intermediate students wanting to work their way up to a study of the full five volumes, and a quick reference or companion tool for those who are studying the work in its entirety.
