Publisher's summary

Alfred Edersheim (1825-1889), a Jewish convert to Christianity, was a Biblical scholar and author. The Alfred Edersheim Box Set includes his three most popular works "The Temple - Its Ministry and Service", "Prophecy and History in Relation to the Messiah", and "Sketches of Jewish Social Life".

In these books on the life and times of Jesus, the author discusses the temple, the priesthood and the Jewish festivals, and examines the customs and traditions of everyday Jewish life in first century Palestine. In a study of the Jewish scriptures, he looks at the way Jesus Christ fulfilled the Messianic hopes of Old Testament prophecies. The collection includes informative pieces on topics like Jewish land, education, trade and commerce, pharisees, sadducees, and synagogues.

Omits Essential Information

Listening through Prophecy and History in Relation to the Messiah, I have noticed that the narrator leaves out vital information, such as reference to Scripture; without a copy of the book, you may not be able to follow along. I noticed this especially in Lecture 6. While going through Lecture 7, I was distracted by the subject to shut off the audio and read through a second time.

The subject, taught by a Christ-following Jew (Such as was Paul, the apostle to the Gentile nations) was well positioned for his work. He knew, and understood by his culture and racial and religious heritage, the Torah. He also had the advantage of thinking like a Jew (because he was by birth a Jew) and, Hebraic thought differs greatly from our own. We think of prophecy as an event being fulfilled- and it is! But, prophecy is pattern, and the truth is born out by man repeatedly going to war, by man trying to repeat their father's ideas, only to have the same result!

This is not an easy subject, but, it is well presented. The problem lays in our personal aversion to changing how we think. We don't understand the problem because we don't want to admit we don't understand there IS a problem.

I am struggling to finish listening to this because I have to keep stopping to double checl with the written text to get the omissions, then, to look up the verses.

Just for listening

I was quite surprised to see that all three books are just merged into 58 chapters. No indication as to which book you are listening to and what actual chapter as pertaining to the book being read. Great for listening as background noise but can hardly be used for any references.
