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.

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...

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.

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!
