Alfred Edersheim (1825-1889) was a Jewish convert to Christianity
and a Biblical scholar, best known for his 1883 The Life and Times
of Jesus the Messiah. Edersheim believed that some knowledge of the
intellectual and religious perspectives of people during Jesus'
lifetime was necessary to fully understand His works. Volume II
begins after the baptism of Jesus through his ministry,
crucifixion, and resurrection.
One of the best known and most important references on the life
of Christ ever written, Alfred Edersheim's "The Life and Times of
Jesus the Messiah" is a storehouse of information on the background
of the New Testament. 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
