About the Author
Alfred Edersheim (1825-1889) was born in Vienna, Austria to Jewish parents, and was brought up in the Talmudic traditions and customs of the Jewish faith. After moving to Hungary, he met Dr. John Duncan, a Presbyterian Minister, who shared the message of the Gospel with him. He then converted from Judaism to Christianity and spent the most of his life serving as a minister and missionary to the Jews of Romania.

Edersheim's unique position as a scholar trained in both the Jewish and the Christian traditions including all the Biblical languages and his extensive knowledge and understanding of the culture and religious beliefs in early first century Roman-ruled Judea make him quite an authority on all things Biblical.

Some of Alfred Edersheim's most widely read works:

• Bible History Old Testament
• The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah
• Sketches of Jewish Social Life
• The Temple: Its Ministry and Services
