{"product_id":"sketches-of-jewish-social-life","title":"Sketches of Jewish Social Life","description":"What was the Middle East like at the time of Jesus’ life?\n\nWho inhabited this area? Where did people work? How did they travel? What did people live in?\n\nDrawing upon Jewish, Roman, Greek and Christian texts Alfred Edersheim reconstructs a vivid image of life in Galilee, Jerusalem and Judea at 0 A.D.\n\nEdersheim’s study covers a wide variety of subjects with chapters covering from how Jewish children were brought up to the position of various members of society, from women through to the Pharisees.\n\nWritten in accessible prose it is one of the most fascinating social histories of Jewish people to have ever been written.\n\nAlthough this area had lost its independence to the Romans in the 1st century B. C. it was thriving under leaders like Herod the Great who were implementing monumental change, such as the expansion of the Second Temple in Jerusalem.\n\nEdersheim’s work therefore captures the life of a Jewish kingdom, that although was under the control of the Romans, still upheld a great deal of independence and had not yet begun to feel the full force of Christianity.\n\nAlfred Edersheim was a biblical scholar and a Jewish convert to Christianity. His other famous works include The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah and The Temple and its Ministry and Services. This book was published in 1876 and he died in 1889.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1519086032\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1519086032.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Edersheim, Alfred\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
