SKETCHES OF JEWISH SOCIAL LIFE

Résumé du livre

What Was Life Really Like in the Time of Christ?

Step into the streets, homes, and synagogues of first-century Palestine and discover the world that shaped the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. In Sketches of Jewish Social Life in the Days of Christ, renowned scholar Alfred Edersheim offers a vivid, detailed portrait of Jewish customs, family life, education, religious practice, and social structure during the time of the New Testament.

This annotated edition brings fresh clarity to Edersheim’s classic work, providing context and explanation where needed, while remaining true to the original author's commitment to historical accuracy and biblical fidelity. Whether exploring the upbringing of Jewish children, the influence of the Pharisees, or the social and political tensions under Roman rule, each chapter draws readers deeper into a richer understanding of Scripture.

Essential for pastors, students, and serious Bible readers, this book will help you interpret the New Testament with greater insight—rooted in the real world in which Jesus lived and taught.
