Readable but Scholarly Approach to the Temple's History

This book is a must for anyone who is deeply interested in the history of the Jewish people. Immensely readable, "The Temple of Jerusalem" presents the reader with the 3,000 year history of the Temple Mount, the Temples which stood atop it, and the dream that the Temple remains in the mind of the Jewish people. Jews and Gentile alike will be suprised, shocked and delighted with the information that this book provides about what really went on in this ancient treasure-house of the Jews. Daily prayers, pilgrimages, and countless animal sacrifies are described in detail. Also, the reader will appreciate just how long the Temples stood at the Temple Mount. This and other fascinating information will surely lead to a newfound understanding of the role of the institution in Jewish history. There are a few pages of full colour photos (some of the incredible model of Herod's Temple at the Holyland Hotel in Jerusalem), as well as some fine drawings of the early Temple structures.
