This classic work successfully portrays the streets, the marketplaces, the religious conflicts, the people, and the places of Jesus' earthly ministry. Edersheim divides his work into five sections, or books: • Book 1—The Preparation for the Gospel Introductory historical, religious, political, and cultural material based on the author's extensive knowledge of Jewish lore and customs. • Book 2—From Bethlehem to Jordan The background of Herod and his reign, St. John the Baptist and his message, and the birth and baptism of Jesus. • Book 3—From Jordan to the Mount of Transfiguration Thirty-seven chapters explore the miracles and teachings of Jesus' early ministry. • Book 4—The Descent into the Valley of Humiliation A history of the latter part of Jesus' ministry from the Transfiguration to the journey to Jerusalem. • Book 5—The Cross and the Crown A chronicle of each day of Passion Week, from Palm Sunday to the Resurrection. • Appendices Valuable background material on Jewish history, tradition, and law. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - IncredibleI have had this book for years and still refer to it regularly. If you have an interest in why Jesus did the things He did, why He said what He said, or why the people responded the way they did you should read this book. One cannot fully grasp the message of the New Testament without the type of knowledge that comes from Edersheim. Rating: - Wow! This book is so much more than I expected! It is a beautiful and welcome addition to my library. I am studying to become a rabbi and trust that this will be a well-used reference. Thank you for the wonderful surprise. (And the GREAT PRICE!!!!!!) Rating: - Messiah's Life and Times plus more!The edition of "The Life and Times of Jesus Christ the Messiah" that I am reviewing is the third edition printed in 1995. It is a burgundy hard cover with gold lettering. This may be the most thorough,comprehensive book about the land and times of Jesus. It covers religious thought and politics of the day. What the Messianic expectations were. This is a very detailed and well-documented chronicle of the Messiah's life. The Appendices in the back of the book are the best I have read. Mr.Edersheim ...

It has some good insights into the life of Jesus, and it will help pastors and teachers of the Word in their search for information that will preach. The book has some weaknesses that keeps it from being the top contemporary resource on the life of Jesus. Number one: The book is not easy to read. It is technical and tedious, and demands alot from the reader. Number two: Edersheim operates under the assumption ... Read More Rating: - In depth and concise In depth and concise I think Alfred Edersheim is brilliant and its evident in his book The life and times of Jesus messiah. He goes into great detail and gives us a Jewish understanding of the synoptic gospels. If one wants to truly relate to the apostles then this book is a must read.
