thought-provoking book

Edersheim probably had no idea people would still be reading his book hundreds of years after he wrote it so some of this book concerns itself with refutations of other authors modern-day readers will have never heard of. Otherwise, this is a fascinating look at the Old Testament. The reader will find several themes that Edersheim attaches considerable attention to that really pull the Old Testament together. This is a wonderful book!

Excellent History

This is a classic, by a master. Language and style a little dated, but that's to be expected considering when it was first published...

a traditional Christian view. buy this book.

This book is an excellent example of a Christian book that treats the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) as an accurate history. It was written during the 19th century, before archaeological discoveries and competent textual analysis exposed that approach as fact-deficient.

I read this a long time ago (no, not in the 19th century), and it really is an excellent book, displaying all of the nuances of the genre. And this genre continues its vitality to this day, needless to say. Modern versions of this approach (e.g., those of Josh McDowell, et. al.) fall far short.

I suggest that anyone interested in the subject of Bronze Age-Iron age Canaanite religion should buy this. Again, this is simply a terrific book. One of the best of the genre.

Great One-Volume work

Origninally written in a number of volumes, this book is now available it a single-book volume. This is nice in that it does not take up much space on your shelf.

Written from a Jewish Christian perspective, Edersheim gives the reader valuable insights of the Israelite history and way of life, all the while linking it to the plan of salvation.

This is a very good doctrinally sound (and affordable) commentary on the O.T.

Edersheim's Best

This without a doubt Edersheim's best work. I have read it many times and always enjoy it with each new reading. I highly recommend this for any person that wants to get a deeper understanding of the Old Testament. It is unexcelled.

In this enduring classic, Alfred Edersheim explores the broad sweep of Old Testament history. He brings to his work his immense learning and familiarity with Judaism, as well as his love for Scripture and his desire for every Christian to know and understand the story of God's redemptive work in history.

This new edition of Edersheim's classic features the following improvements:

? Entirely reset in a modern and easy-to-read typeface
? Complete and unabridged in one volume
? Arabic numbers replace roman numerals
? New maps to provide for richer understanding

"In writing it [Bible History: Old Testament] I have primarily had in view those who teach and those who learn, whether in the school or in the family. But my scope has also been wider. I have wished to furnish, what may be useful for reading in the family,-what indeed may, in some measure, serve the place of a popular exposition of the sacred history. More than this, I hope it may likewise prove a book to put in the hands of students, to show them what the Bible really teaches."
