THE TEMPLE: Its Ministry and Services As They Were At the Time of Jesus Christ

What did worship look like when Jesus walked the streets of Jerusalem? How did the sacrifices, feasts, and priestly duties of the Temple reflect the deeper realities of redemption?

In this richly detailed and reverently written work, Alfred Edersheim—converted Jewish scholar and pastor—guides readers through the history, layout, rituals, and spiritual meaning of the Second Temple in the time of Christ. This annotated edition updates the language for today’s reader while preserving the depth, beauty, and biblical insight of the original.

Explore the customs and ceremonies of ancient Israel as they were practiced in Jesus’ day—the daily offerings, the music of the Levites, the role of the high priest, and the powerful imagery of Passover, Tabernacles, and the Day of Atonement.

But more than a historical study, this book brings to life the profound truth that every part of the Temple pointed to Jesus Himself—the true Lamb, the final Priest, and the ultimate Sanctuary.

Perfect for students of Scripture, pastors, and anyone seeking to understand the connection between the Old and New Testaments, The Temple is a timeless resource that deepens both knowledge and worship.

“From beginning to end, the two Testaments are one—fulfilled in Christ.”
