Alfred Edersheim's well-researched account of everyday Jewish life
at the time the New Testament Gospels took place remains one of the
best texts on the subject ever authored. This edition includes the
author's appendixes. The reader is taken back to Israel and the
surrounding areas more than 2,000 years ago. How the society would
appear to the casual traveler, what customs the people practiced,
how everyday life proceeded in the Jewish homestead and towns, and
how women were treated are topics which Edersheim examines. The
author goes into much detail, presenting an evocative picture of a
sophisticated ancient society. We also hear of the political
landscape of the era, particularly concerning the Pharisees - the
leading social and political movement of the time - and its
interactions with rival movements such as the Sadducees and
Essenes. Religious rites, the layout and ceremonies of ancient
Jewish synagogues and temples, and the creation of the ancient
religious Talmudic literature, are related.
